ABSTRACT
Pericardial cysts are an uncommon benign disease. Their treatment, in the past, was based on excision by thoracotomy or, in selected cases, on percutaneous aspiration. The progress of video-assisted thoracoscopy gave new possibilities, but most surgeons still consider the thoracotomic approach as the treatment of choice. The aim of this study is to report our experience and to discuss the role of different therapeutic procedures in the management of pericardial cysts. Between 1970 and 1996, 24 patients with pericardial cysts were treated at the first Department of Surgery of the University of Rome <
