Video thoracoscopy is being used with increasing frequency by thoracic
surgeons. Although initially used primarily for simple diagnostic purposes,
improved instrumentation and evolving expertise have allowed for the
performance of increasingly complex therapeutic procedures. We present a
case of a giant subcarinal bronchogenic cyst in an elderly man with
multiple medical problems. The cyst nearly occluded the bronchus
intermedius and resulted in recurrent respiratory tract infections. Using
video thoracoscopy, the cyst was drained and the wall of the cyst was
resected successfully with minimal concomitant morbidity.
