1 Successful treatment of mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the carina
Fengshi Chen, MD, Akitoshi Tatsumi, MD, Yoshihiro Miyamoto, MD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 71, Issue 1, Pages (January 2001) DOI: /S (00)

2 Fig 1 Spiral computed tomography (CT) with three-dimensional reconstructions showed that the tumor extended just across the orifice of the right upper lobe. (LMB = left main bronchus; RUB = right upper lobe bronchus.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (00) )

3 Fig 2 The schema of carinal resection and reconstruction. The left main bronchus, the trachea, and the bronchus intermedius were transected at the black lines. One-fourth of the primary end-to-end anastomosis remained to be done, and the remaining lumen was trimmed so that it might be a proper stoma for the secondary end-to-side anastomosis. The bronchus intermedius was reimplanted into the stoma. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (00) )

4 Fig 3 Follow-up spiral computed tomography (CT) with three-dimensional reconstructions showed no critical anastomotic stenosis. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (00) )
