Uniportal VATS retrieval of an endobronchial coil migrated through pericardium.

Endobronchial insertion of nitinol coils is a minimally invasive treatment strategy for selected patients with advanced emphysema. Although coil migration into the pleural space has been described by Marchetti et al. (Endobronchial coil penetration into the pleural space. Thorax 2018;73:890-1) [ 1], breach through the pericardium has not been reported to date.
