Fig 2 Intraoperative image of the thymic flap. The right inferior pole of the thymus (TF) secures the right upper lobe bronchial stump (*) after mobilization from the pericardium and retrosternal attachments. It was then positioned deep to the superior vena cava (SVC) and azygous vein (AV) to minimize tension. (LL = right lower lung lobe; ML = right middle lung lobe.)
