title: [Anaesthesia in endoscopic and percutaneous procedures in cardio-thoracic and cardiovascular interventions, part 2 - endoscopic thoracic interventions and endovascular percutaneous aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR)].
abstract: Despite the ongoing further development of high definition imaging techniques (CT, MRI), mediastinoscopy and thoracoscopy remain essential instruments e.g. for extracting mediastinal lymph nodes allowing further histological diagnostics, or increasingly complex thoracoscopic procedures. Furthermore, in the course of the development of endoscopic thoracic and percutaneous interventions, the therapy of thoracic aortic aneurysms is increasingly the domain of endovascular procedures. In the second part of this review the anaesthesiological procedure and specialties concerning endoscopic thoracic interventions and percutaneous aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) will be described.
