Videoscopic hilar lymph node dissection: a new application of vat surgery used in two cases of malignant melanoma metastases to pulmonary hilar lymph nodes

patient (1/15, 7%) required reoperation 1 year after L-PAPVC repair for PV stenosis due to several thrombi located throughout the PV. Freedom from PV reoperation was 90% at 10 years. Follow-up was 87% complete with median follow-up time of 10 years (range 52 days to 20 years). Discussion: To our knowledge, this is the youngest cohort of patients who have undergone surgical repair of L-PAPVC. Repair of L-PAPVC in children can be achieved via anastomosis of the anomalous vessel to the LA with excellent outcomes. The rate of anastomotic stenosis at the site of implantation on the LA is low.
