Use of porcine acellular dermal matrix to repair lung Hernia after minithoracotomy: A case report with 6-Year follow-up.Lung hernia following minimally invasive cardiac surgery is rare with few reported cases in the literature.  We report a case of a 36-year-old woman who developed lung hernia and a strong retraction of the pectoralis major muscle after minithoracotomy that was performed for mitral valve surgery.  Our experience suggests that ADMs are a safe and reliable surgical technique for lung hernia repair due to their biological and mechanical properties, even in those secondary hernias to minithoracotomy where a complete muscle coverage of the matrix could not be provided.
