Abstract:
Bronchoplastic and angioplastic reconstructions have become a common procedure as an alternative to pneumonectomy and provide an improved quality of life, which maximize residual lung tissue. Anastomotic complications in these procedures, such as anastomotic stricture, dehiscence, and vascular thrombosis, remain a matter of concern and are often fatal. Several different therapeutic approaches for these complications have been reported. In this paper, the management with re-thoracotomy for postoperative complications after bronchoplastic and angioplastic reconstructions are described.
