title: Severe Mediastinitis and Pericarditis After Transbronchial Needle Aspiration.
abstract: Endobronchial ultrasonographically guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is now widely performed for mediastinal lymph node staging of lung cancer. Although this procedure is less invasive than mediastinoscopy, some infectious complications have been reported. We report the successful use of pericardial and mediastinal drainage in a case of acute severe mediastinitis with pericarditis after EBUS-TBNA.
