Tracheal Reconstruction Using Femoro-femoral Bypass -A Case Report-
|

Abstract
|
|
|
Resection and reconstruction of distal trachea or carina have posed tremendous technical challenges for surgeons.
Successful outcome depends on thorough preoperative evaluation, careful anesthetic management, strict attention of surgical technique and postoperative care.
We report a successful case of revision of tracheal stenosis using femoro-femoral bypass on a 13-year-old boy. The patient complained severe dyspnea about 1 month following right sleeve pneumonectomy.
Preoperative CT scan and intraoperative bronchoscopy showed pin-point tracheal stenosis at a tracheo-bronchial anastomosis site about 1.2cm in length.
At operation the lesion was severely adhesed and the lumen was nearly obstructed. The stenotic segment was resected and direct end-to-end anastomosis was done under femoro-femoral bypass for adequate oxygenation.
The patient was discharged at postop. 16 days without specific complications and has continued to do well. (Korean J Thoracic Cardiovas Surg 1994; 27:324-7)
