Abstract:
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.
