Left mediastinal node dissection during lung cancer surgery can be difficult because paratracheal and subcarinal lymph nodes are concealed by mediastinal structures. Arterial ligament transection (ALT) offers a wide surgical view of concealed mediastinal spaces, thus enabling extended en bloc lymph node dissection (LND). We analyzed surgical outcomes of patients who underwent extended LND after ALT via video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for potentially node-positive clinical stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
