Purpose: The hemiclamshell (HCS) approach provides a comprehensive view of the anterior mediastinum, whereas the transmanubrial osteomuscular sparing approach (TMA) allows sufficient exposure of the cervico-thoracic transition. We assessed the effectiveness and the outcomes of the combined HCS plus TMA approach to resect thoracic malignant tumors. Methods: We reviewed five patients with thoracic malignant tumors invading the thoracic outlet who underwent surgery using an HCS and TMA approach between 2018 and 2021. Results: The preoperative diagnosis was myxofibrosarcoma, lung cancer, thymic cancer, thymoma, and neurofibromatosis type1 in one patient each, respectively. Cardiovascular reconstruction was done on the aortic arch in two patients, on the descending aorta in one, and on the superior vena cava in one, combined with resection of the vagus nerve in three patients, of the phrenic nerve in two, and of vertebra in one, with overlap in some cases. The TMA was added because all patients required dissection of the periphery of the subclavian artery, and two had tumor extension to the neck. Macroscopic complete resection was achieved in four patients. There was no postoperative mortality. Conclusion: The combination of the HCS and TMA approaches at the same operation provides a comprehensive view of the mediastinum, lung, and cervico-thoracic transition and allows safe access to the thoracic great vessels and subclavian vessels.
