摘要：

In a thoracoscopic resection of mediastinal cysts, aspiration of the cyst contents at the beginning of the procedure is often helpful because it allows the cyst to be more easily grasped and manipulated. Spillage of the cyst contents into the thoracic cavity may, however, occur during aspiration when an ordinary aspiration needle is used. If the cyst contents are infective, then a subsequent contamination of the thoracic cavity may develop. We therefore use a specially designed double-balloon catheter for aspiration to minimize spillage of the cyst contents into the thoracic cavity. We describe herein the usefulness of this aspiration technique.
