The transmanubrial approach allows excellent unilateral exposure of the thoracic outlet. However, selected patients may require a bilateral cervicomediastinal exposure to completely resect the neoplasm. We report the use of a "double" transmanubrial approach for the resection of a giant mediastinal mass requiring bilateral vascular dissection and superior vena cava system resection and replacement.

Abstract
The transmanubrial approach allows excellent unilateral exposure of the thoracic outlet. However, selected patients may require a bilateral cervicomediastinal exposure to completely resect the neoplasm. We report the use of a "double" transmanubrial approach for the resection of a giant mediastinal mass requiring bilateral vascular dissection and superior vena cava system resection and replacement.
