Recurrent Mediastinal Sarcoma in the Aortic Arch.

Recurrent Mediastinal Sarcoma in the Aortic Arch. Korean J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg. 2017 Dec;50(6):463-466 Authors: Pyo WK, Kim HJ, Kim JB Abstract As mediastinal sarcomas commonly present as large tumors invading adjacent vital structures, complete resection is frequently challenging. For such tumors, aggressive surgical strategies, such as the resection and reconstruction of the invaded vital structures under cardiopulmonary bypass, may be required to achieve complete resection and to improve survival. Herein, we report a case of recurrent mediastinal sarcoma invading the aortic arch and arch vessels that was successfully removed by total arch replacement. PMID: 29234616 [PubMed]
