Abstract
Previous mediastinal surgery may be considered a contraindication to minimally invasive resection of anterior mediastinal masses. We have found video-assisted thoracoscopic resection of anterior mediastinal masses to be technically feasible after sternotomy or chamberlain procedures. Changes in positioning and port location may facilitate these procedures.
