  • Title: [Blunt tracheal transection].
    Author: Ishibashi H, Ohta S, Hirose M.
    Journal: Kyobu Geka; 2006 Oct; 59(11):985-9. PubMed ID: 17058659.
    Abstract:
    Blunt tracheobronchial injuries are rare, but can be life-threatening. A precise preoperative diagnosis and well recognized plan of surgical treatment, which may be unique for each patient are needed to restore the continuity of tracheobronchial tree in a one-stage intervention. We encountered 2 patients with complete tracheal transection of neck and 1 patient with complete tracheal transection in mediastinum and 15 cm tear in the posterior membranous trachea, whose tracheal injury was difficult to repair using direct intubation of distal airway by bronchoscopy. We achieved a good result of repair using a percutaneous cardiopulmonary support system (PCPS).
