SUCCESSFUL THORACOSCOPIC RETRIEVAL OF FOREIGN BODIES FROM THE SUPERIOR VENA CAVA AND RIGHT PLEURAL CAVITY (TEMPORARY PACING ELECTRODES)

We report herein, successful thoracoscopic management of a patient who had a foreign body in the superior vena cava. Foreign body in the superior vena cava in this patient was accompanied by thrombosis, thus limiting the use of endovascular extraction. The impacted foreign bode was successfully removed by minimally invasive thoracoscopic approach without any major or minor traumas. This clinical case proved that thoracoscopic removal is a safe alternative in this group of patients. Given the low prevalence of this type of complications and excellent postoperative outcome, thoracoscopic removal should be considered as one of the routine management approaches to treat patients with these complications.
