Typical carcinoid involving the main carina managed with arterial embolisation, endobronchial resection and ablation, ultimately followed by carinal resection

Carinal resection.

There are many challenges in performing carinal resection and, in particular, reconstruction. A better understanding of the safe limits of resection has contributed to the reduced mortality from anastomotic complications. Accurate selection of patients, a meticulous adherence to surgical precision, and optimal postoperative patient care have become mandatory to reduce the risk of the most serio...

Lower tracheal and carinal resection associated with subtotal oesophagectomy for carcinoma of oesophagus involving trachea.

Involvement of the tracheobronchial tree by carcinoma of the oesophagus has always been regarded as a contra-indication to surgical resection or radiotherapy, the danger of producing an oesophagotracheal or bronchial fistula in the latter form of treatment precluding its use. Management has been confined, generally, to the insertion of a plastic tube through the malignant stricture, thus allowi...

Carinal resection for stenotic tuberculous tracheitis.

An 18 year old Chinese woman presented in March 1986 with a one month history of increasing wheeze and dyspnoea during exertion. She had been treated elsewhere for pulmonary tuberculosis since November 1985 but admitted poor compliance with treatment. Physical examination showed a very apprehensive woman with inspiratory stridor and cyanosis. A chest radiograph showed mild disease of the right ...
