RESUMO
A series of reports in the literature suggest that video assisted thoracoscopic resection of an esophageal leiomyoma offers distinct advantage over open approach. We describe a patient with esophageal leiomyoma who underwent surgical resection via thoracoscopic approach using four thoracic trocars. The postoperative period was uneventful and the patient was discharged on postoperative day 3.

We describe a patient who sustained a traumatic rupture of an aberrant right subclavian artery. An interposition graft was used to restore continuity of the artery to the descending thoracic aorta.

We report a case of lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum in a patient with a recent syncopal episode and shortness of breath. Preoperative transesophageal echocardiography demonstrated a large tumor protruding from the interatrial septum. In addition, the patient was found to have significant coronary artery disease and a right internal carotid artery stenosis. The patient underwent successful resection of the mass with septal reconstruction, aortocoronary bypass, and right carotid endarterectomy. Histology of the mass was consistent with lipomatous hypertrophy.
