Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection with dysmorphic pulmonary vein: a risk for postoperative pulmonary venous obstruction.

abstract：:Bronchogenic cysts are congenital lesions from the primitive foregut, mostly located in the mediastinum. Surgical excision in symptomatic cases is often challenging. Video-assisted mediastinoscopy offers a safe and effective approach with less morbidity and shorter hospital stay compared to open sternotomy or posterol...
