Özet

OBJECTIVES: Several series have demonstrated that video-assisted thoracoscopic (VAT) thymectomy is feasible and safe. However, VAT thymectomy is an operation that could invite catastrophes, such as major vascular injuries. We aimed to analyse the events and define the management and outcomes of these serious complications.
