1 Surgical Techniques and Long-Term Results of Pulmonary Artery Reconstruction in Patients With Lung Cancer  Domenico Galetta, MD, PhD, Alessandro Borri, MD, Roberto Gasparri, MD, Francesco Petrella, MD, Lorenzo Spaggiari, MD, PhD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 100, Issue 4, Pages (October 2015) DOI: /j.athoracsur Copyright © 2015 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

2 Fig 1 (A) Intraoperative view of left bronchovascular reconstruction. The pulmonary artery defect is repaired first with a bovine pericardial patch. Bronchial anastomosis is then performed with two running sutures with nonabsorbable monofilament (3-0 Prolene; Ethicon, Somerville, NJ). (B) A pericardial fat pad is used to wrap the bronchial anastomosis and to separate the bronchial from the arterial side, thus avoiding bronchoarterial fistulas.
