Ecmo-assisted carinal resection and reconstruction after left pneumonectomy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) has become an increasingly important technique for patients with respiratory or cardiac failure for a variety of causes. In addition, there are many reports about the use of ECMO in surgical operation on neonates and children patients with tracheal obstruction. In this report we present a case about an adult patient who underwent a carinal resection and reconstruction after left pneumonectomy with ECMO assistance successfully. To our knowledge, this case is the first of its kind to use ECMO in adult carinal resection and reconstruction after pneumonectomy. In this report, we try to illustrate that ECMO is effective in operations of this kind.

Right-sided approach for management of left-main-bronchial stump problems.
OBJECTIVE Although the incidence of bronchopleural fistula (BPF) has decreased in the past decades, it remains a serious complication following pulmonary resection. The management of left-sided bronchial stump fistulas is difficult and depends on the choice of the approach. In contrast to several surgical procedures published in the past, herein we report our experience managing five left-main-...
متن کاملApplication of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in tracheal tumor resection
Objective: Normal gas exchange and sufficient oxygenation are key preconditions for tracheal tumor resection. Due to the complex of diseases, conventional airway management during anesthesia, in some special cases, may meet some difficulties or risks. Then, some other options should be considered. We presented three cases where extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) was used for cardiopulmo...
