Abstract
Pericardial lesions are particularly accessible for resection and biopsy by the video-assisted technique. However, with the numerous arcs of mobility and with limited motion at the chest wall and the surgeon-controlled 3-D view particularly provides assistance in the evaluation of diagnosed and undiagnosed pericardial lesions. This chapter provides the indications and a detailed approach to the pericardial cyst or mass.
