ALLMedicine™ Tracheal Resection Center

Feb 26th, 2021 - We present a case of a premature infant who had an initial diagnosis of an innominate artery compression syndrome. This was approached by a median sternotomy for an aortopexy. However, the patient was found to have a distal tracheal stenosis due t...

Feb 17th, 2021 - Severe postintubation tracheal stenosis (PITS) is a rare iatrogenic complication after endotracheal intubation. We describe a case of PITS in a 51-year-old male undergoing partial pericardiectomy with a principal diagnosis of tuberculous constrict...

Jan 20th, 2021 - Tracheal resection followed by reconstruction is one of the most difficult procedures in thoracic surgery. Intrathoracic tracheal injuries were usually treated by sternotomy, thoracotomy, or a combination of these techniques. In the last decade, m...

Nov 20th, 2020 - Constant neck flexion has been considered crucial to reducing anastomotic tension after tracheal resection. However, in rare cases, anteflexion can cause cervical cord damage, leading to acute neurological disorders such as tetraplegia. Here, we r...

Oct 12th, 2020 - Rapid epithelialization is crucial to maintain tracheal patency and prevent potential graft failure in tracheal reconstruction after tracheal resection for cancer with tracheal infiltration or tracheal stenosis. Insulin-like growth factor 1 is a l...
