Abstract:
Objective To discuss the cause,prevention,treatment of airway anastomosis stenosis after lung transplantation.Methods From Jan.2003 to Sep.2005,8 homogeneity variant single lung transplantations were performed successfully at our hospital.All the cases were subjected to a running suture on the membranous wall and single stitches on the anterior cartilaginous part.Among the 11 cases,9 were still alive well. In 4 patients having aspergillus infection after operation,2 patients suffered from bronchial anastomosis stenosis.Results There were bronchial anastomosis stenosises in the 2 patients one month and 7 months after transplantation, respectively.All of them were cured by stenting.Conclusions Airway anastomosis stenosis was associated with bronchial ischemia,aspergillus infection,suture technique and so on.The stenting was positively effective for airway anastomosis stenosis.
