1 Anterior pericardial tracheoplasty for long-segment tracheal stenosis: Long-term outcomes 
Nervin Fanous, MD, S. Adil Husain, MD, Mark Ruzmetov, MD, PhD, Mark D. Rodefeld, MD, Mark W. Turrentine, MD, John W. Brown, MD  The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery  Volume 139, Issue 1, Pages (January 2010) DOI: /j.jtcvs Copyright © Terms and Conditions

2 Figure 1 Anterior pericardial tracheoplasty was performed through a median sternotomy during partial normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass. Three to 4 tacking sutures were placed to prevent future tracheomalacia from recoil, and harvested fresh autologous pericardium was tailored to enlarge the tracheal lumen to 1.5 times the predicted diameter.

3 Figure 2 The pericardium was sutured to the tracheal edge with a continuous running 6-0 polydioxanone suture. Care was taken to avoid exposure of any suture material to the lumen of the airway in an attempt to minimize the subsequent formation of granulation tissue.
