The use of endoscopic technology, widely accepted in general surgery and general thoracic surgery, has recently gained popularity in cardiac surgery, as witnessed by the development of minimally invasive cardiac surgery. Intracardiac employment of this technology, however, has largely been limited to enhanced fiberoptic visualization in anecdotal cases. We present a case employing thoracoscopic instruments in the removal of a benign intracavitary lesion using cardiopulmonary bypass.
内镜技术在普通外科和普通胸外科已被广泛接受，最近在心脏外科也开始流行起来，微创心脏外科的发展就是明证。然而，这项技术在心脏内的应用在很大程度上仅限于个别案例中增强光纤可视化。我们在此呈现一个病例，该病例在体外循环下使用胸腔镜器械切除一个良性心腔内病变。
