Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Repair of an Iatrogenic Innominate Arterial Injury

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: We report a 64-year-old male with iatrogenic innominate artery haemorrhage during video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) lymph node dissection, who underwent successful thoracoscopic repair. For centres with experienced minimally invasive thoracic surgeons and rapid multidisciplinary support, thoracoscopic repair of such an injury is feasible and can avoid thoracotomy.
