[Pericardial injuries due to mediastinoscopy (the anatomy of the recussus aorticus pericardii) (author's transl)].
According to results obtained on the topographical studies of the anatomy of the recessus aorticus pericardii the authors stress the possibility of the vulnerability of the pericard due to mediastinoscopy, since its retroaortal fold reaches up to the truncus brachio-cephalicus and its broad-assertion up to the a. pulmonalis.
