A lateral costal artery complicating video-assisted thorascopic surgery (VATS) pleurectomy

A lateral costal artery complicating video-assisted thorascopic surgery (VATS) pleurectomy The lateral costal artery is a rare variant arising from the internal thoracic artery (ITA). It has been associated with steel syndrome after coronary artery bypass using the ITA as a conduit. Clinically, it is under-reported in the literature. We report the presence of a prominent lateral costal artery, coursing below the diaphragm, discovered during video-assisted thorascopic surgery pneumothorax surgery and preventing parietal pleurectomy. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy Springer Journals

Abstract

The lateral costal artery is a rare variant arising from the internal thoracic artery (ITA). It has been associated with steel syndrome after coronary artery bypass using the ITA as a conduit. Clinically, it is under-reported in the literature. We report the presence of a prominent lateral costal artery, coursing below the diaphragm, discovered during video-assisted thorascopic surgery pneumothorax surgery and preventing parietal pleurectomy.
