ABSTRACT
Despite advances in imaging techniques, mediastinoscopy remains an important tool for the staging of the mediastinum in non-small cell lung cancer and diagnosing lymphoma with mediastinal adenopathy. Injury to the arterial system during mediastinoscopy is infrequent but a potentially fatal complication. We report three cases of injury to the aorta and supra-aortic arteries sustained during mediastinoscopy. These were effectively managed by endovascular techniques. Patient recovery was uncomplicated and median length of stay was 3 days. This technique avoids major open surgery in a high-risk group of patients and may offer a mortality benefit and more rapid resumption of oncological treatment.
