  • Title: Double-barrel reconstruction for complex bronchial disruption due to blunt thoracic trauma.
    Author: Tamura M, Oda M, Matsumoto I, Fujimori H, Shimizu Y, Watanabe G.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2009 Dec; 88(6):2008-10. PubMed ID: 19932279.
    Abstract:
    We herein present a case of a 20-year-old man who presented with complex rupture of bronchus after blunt chest trauma. The involvement of both the main bronchus and right upper bronchus separately is unusual. Emergency double-barrel bronchial reconstruction was performed with complete preservation of the right lung. Such a serious bronchial injury with a positive outcome has not been reported so far. The features of this uncommon entity are discussed.
