Retrograde autologous priming in surgery of thoracic aortic aneurysm.

abstract：:Primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) is a very common disease and recurrence is a major concern for the post-first-time victims. Owing to the convenience and popularity of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), should we still wait for recurrence before we perform this minimal invasive procedure to cure the di...
