Abstract

A complete thoracoscopic right lower lobectomy was successfully performed for a 74-year-old woman with an anomalous right middle lobe pulmonary vein, forming a common trunk of V4+5 and V6 . Preoperative three-dimensional computed tomography was useful to identify the vascular anomaly and contributed to perform safe surgery under the thoracoscopy.
