  • A 60-year-old female was admitted to our hospital complaining of dyspnea. In the past history, she had received tracheal diversion due to recurrent aspiration after brain surgery and tracheostomy. Emergency three dimensional spiral tracheal computed tomograhpy revealed distal tracheal stenosis. The operation was performed by anterior tracheoplasty using glutaraldehyde-soaked autologous pericardium through median sternotomy. Herein we report a case of anterior tracheoplasty using glutaraldehyde-soaked autologous pericardium.

  • Slide tracheoplasty. as a treatment for congenital tracheal stenosis, has been recently reported to have good results and quite a number of advantages as compared with conventional tracheoplasties. The aim of this study is to report a new surgical technique modified from the slide tracheoplasty. "the slide cricotracheoplasty" for the congenital cricotracheal stenosis. A girl was born by Cesarean section and the diagnosis of esophageal atresia (Gross type C) and cricotracheal stenosis (30 % of total length of trachea) was established. Esophageal atresia was successfully corrected at the 8th day of life. At the 31st day of life, corrective surgery for congenital cricotracheal stenosis. the slide cricotracheoplasty. was performed with success. Slide cricotracheoplasty is almost the same procedure as slide tracheoplasty except for two technical features. First the cricoid cartilage was split on its anterior surface. Second the split cricoid cartilage was fixed to pre vertebral fascia to maintain enough space to accommodate the sliding caudal segment of trachea because of the stiffness of the cricoid cartilage. We believe that the sliding cricotracheoplasty is a new surgical technique for congenital cricotracheal stenosis that has similar results and advantages as the sliding tracheoplasty.

  • Tracheoinnominate artery fistula (TIF) is a very rare complication that can happen after long standing tracheostomy or insertion of an endotracheal tube and its mortality is very high. This condition requires early diagnosis and urgent management because of the life threatening results from tracheal obstruction or hypovolemic shock that is caused by massive bleeding. We report here on a case of successful tracheoplasty with using the costal cartilage, including the perichondrium, in a patient with laryngeal stricture, and this was done to preserve the trachea for the following operation to relieve the laryngeal stricture.

  • Congenital tracheal stenosis is very rare, but it leads to life threatening obstruction in infancy and childhood. Recently, we experienced two cases of congenital tracheal stenosis, involving half of the distal trachea. We adopted slide tracheoplasty procedure Proposed by Peter Goldstraw Tracheoplasty was performed by dividing the stenosis at midpoint, incising the proximal and distal narrow segments vertically on opposite anterior and posterior surfaces, and sliding these together. On case 1, the patient':s now doing well. On case 2, the patient succumbed due to anastomotic disruption at postoperative ay 4.

  • Between 1975 and 1992, forty five patients with trachea stenosis received tracheoplasty for relief of obstruction. The causes of airway problem are brain contusion[19 cases, 40%], cerebrovascular disease[3 cases, 7%], drug intoxication[8 cases, 18%], psychotic problem[2 cases, 4%], trachea tumor[3 cases, 7%], adult respiratory distress syndrome[9 cases, 20%] and direct trauma[1 case, 2%]. Direct causes of trachea stenosis were complications of tracheostomy[36 cases, 80%], complications of nasotracheal intubation[5 cases, 11%], tumor[3 cases, 6%] and trauma[1 case, 2%]. Thirty one patients underwent the sleeve resection and end-to-end anastomosis. Five patients performed a wedge resection and end-to-end anastomosis. Forteen patients received the Montgomery T-tube for relief of airway obstruction. Four patients have done simple excision of granulation tissue. Two, subglottic stenosis patients were received Rethi procedure[anterior division of cricoid cartilage, wedge partial resection of lower thyroid cartilage and Montgomery T-tube molding] and the other subglottic stenosis patient underwent permanent trachea fenestration. Including cervical flexion in all patients postoperatively, additional surgical techniques for obtain tension-free anastomosis were hyoid bone release technique in two cases, and hilar mobilization, division of inferior pulmonary ligament and mobilization of pulmonary vessel at the pericardium were performed in one case. Cervical approach was used in 39 cases, cervicomediastinal in 12 cases and transthoracic in one case. Complications of tracheoplasty were formation of granulation tissue at the anastomosis site[3 cases], restenosis[9 cases], trachea-innominate artery fistula[2 cases], wound infection[2 cases], separation of anastomosis[2 cases], air leakage[3 cases], injury to a recurrent laryngeal nerve[temporary 8 cases, permanent 2 cases] and hypoxemia[1 case]. Surgical mortality for resection with primary reconstruction was 6.7%, with one death due to postoperative respiratory failure and two deaths due to tracheo-innominate artery fistula.

  • Congenital tracheal stenosis can be a life-threatening disease, especially in cases involving the long-segment of the trachea. When patients are symptomatic immediately after birth or develop an accompanying complex cardiac anomaly, surgical repair can be a considerable challenge. We experienced a tracheoplasty in one early infant weighing 2.6 kg and one neonate who had ventilator dependency from long-segment congenital tracheal stenosis and congenital cardiac anomaly. One early infant, who had diffuse stenosis of distal trachea after ventricular septal defect closure, underwent resection and extended end to end anastomosis. One neonate who had diffuse stenosis of proximal trachea with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), underwent slide tracheoplasty with total correction for TOF Postoperative chest computed tomography showed widely patent trachea. Both infants are now well without symptoms.

  • We describe here two cases of anterior tracheoplasty utilizing an autologous pericardial patch. One patient was a 9 year-old female who had a congenital long tracheal stenosis associated with major vascular anomalies including pulmonary artery sling. One-stage correction was done under the support of an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation system. She required a prolonged ventilation support for 10 days postoperatively until the implanted pericardium was fixed to the mediastinal structures. The other patient was a 8 year-old male who had acquired tracheal stenosis following a complicated tracheostomy. By applying additional support over the pericardial patch with the costal cartilage, an endotracheal tube could be removed immediately after the operation. Both patients have been doing well in a postoperative follow-up of over a year, and there have been evidences of growth in the reconstructed trachea.

  • Congenital long-segment tracheal stenosis with complex cardiac anomaly has generally been regarded as a fatal disease This report described the successful concomitant repair of unexpected congenital tracheal stenosis and complex cardiac anomaly with the use of edrdiopulmonary bypass. The patient was a 3-month-old girl with coarctation of aorta, V D, and PDA. The presence of tracheal stenosis was not discovered until when difficulty with endotracheal intubation was encountered at operating room. Thus, we decided concomitant repair of both lesions and performed anterior pericardial tracheoplasty combined with one stage repair of coarctation of aorta, VSD, and PDA under the cardiopulmonary bypass. The patient is doing well without any signs of complication at present, 2 years and 1 month after the operation.
