Objectives: Uniportal incision located at 4th or 5th intercostal space represents a problem for the correct drainage of distal areas of pleural cavity. The T-shaped tube can drain both the extremities of pleural space. In this study, we evaluated the effectiveness of T-chest tube compared to classic chest tube after uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery.

Background: Combination of non-oncological pulmonary and cardiac conditions is common entity in modern thoracic surgery, allowing concurrent surgical correction. Multiple publications in the literature address the success of simultaneous interventions for combined conditions, however almost all are performed with an open approach.
Case Description: A 49-year-old male with past medical history significant for bronchiectasis, complicated by fibrosis of the middle lobe, presented with dyspnea, recurrent hemoptysis, and nonproductive cough.

Introduction: With the spread of the use of implantable loop recorders (ILRs) by cardiologists for outpatient cardiac monitoring, intrathoracic migration represents a rare but possible complication occurring after the placement of these devices. Very few cases of ILRs intrathoracic migration into the pleural cavity have been reported, followed in even fewer cases by surgical removal of the devices, but in none re-implantation was performed.
Presentation Of Case: We report the first case of a patient with a new generation ILR accidentally migrated into the postero-inferior costophrenic recess of the left pleural cavity, successfully removed by uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) and submitted to re-implantation of a new ILR in the same operating session.
