A three-port approach was used in all patients but one where an uniportal approach was adopted. Lobectomy was carried out in two patients; left upper three-segmentectomy and upper bilobectomy in the other two. All procedures were successfully performed without needing conversion. No intra-operative, postoperative morbidity and mortality were recorded. At last follow-up, all patients were alive without recurrence but one who had cerebral metastasis. Thoracoscopic lung resection after cardiac surgery is a feasible but complex procedure that should be performed in centres having a cardiac surgery team ready to operate in case of cardiac complications.
