Abstract
We performed videopericardioscopy using an endothoracic sonographic probe for the staging of left hilar nonsmall cell lung cancer. This method will be useful for an accurate diagnosis of direct tumor invasion into the intrapericardial great vessels and lead to the institution of appropriate treatment.
