(A) Three-dimensional reconstructed image of tracheal stenosis extending from 2 cm distal to the vocal cords to the T4-spinal level. (B) Sagittal computed tomographic image of residual trachea after initial resection (top of C7 to bottom of T2 vertebra) with recurrent stenotic segment ending at the carina.

Top panel: the 5-mm diameter stenosis approximately 3 cm above the carina requiring bronchoscopic dilatation to allow passage of the flexible bronchoscope. Bottom panel: widely patent trachea (4-cm residual length) and anastomosis post-resection.

4. Fig 3
Spirometry with flow-volume loop of patient showing complete resolution of the severe obstructive pattern post-tracheal resection. Left panel: preoperative; right panel: postoperative. Volume (L) in the x-axis, and flow (L/sec) in the y-axis. Outer line of expiratory limb marks predicted values with confidence interval. (FEV1 = forced expiratory volume in 1 second; FVC = forced vital capacity; PEF = peak expiratory flow; Postop = postoperative; Preop = preoperative; * = actual value measured.)
