Abstract
Paravertebral catheters were placed bilaterally through a Tuohy needle under direct video control in a patient undergoing video-assisted tho racoscopic (VAT) surgery for recurrent, bilateral pneumothoraces. Post operative analgesia was produced by infusing bupivacaine through the c atheters. This provided good analgesia. VAT placement of paravertebral catheters is easily accomplished and may be a part of the surgical pr ocedure.
