Case Report

Left Thoracotomy for Distal Tracheal Repair

Ray H. Chen, MD, David A. Ott, MD

Department of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery, Texas Heart Institute, Houston, Texas

Accepted for publication December 2, 1995.

When consulted emergently by another surgeon in the operating room, we accomplished repair of a major laceration of the posterior wall of the distal trachea with associated avulsion of the left upper-lobe bronchus via the existing left thoracotomy exposure in a 7-year-old girl. Mobilization of the descending aorta anteriorly provided adequate exposure of the tracheal injury.
