Excerpt

Preoperative localization of small pulmonary tumors using a hook wire is widely used to determine the exact location of the targets during video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) [1‐3]. Although this procedure is usually safe, critical complications such as systemic air embolism occur extremely rarely [3, 4]. Herein, we report a case of tension pneumopericardium, which is one such complication, caused by a pericardial defect due to previous surgery and pneumothorax induced by this procedure. …
