ABSTRACT
We describe here two cases of anterior tracheoplasty utilizing an autologous pericardial patch. One patient was a 9 year-old female who had a congenital long tracheal stenosis associated with major vascular anomalies including pulmonary artery sling. One-stage correction was done under the support of an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation system. She required a prolonged ventilation support for 10 days postoperatively until the implanted pericardium was fixed to the mediastinal structures. The other patient was a 8 year-old male who had acquired tracheal stenosis following a complicated tracheostomy. By applying additional support over the pericardial patch with the costal cartilage, an endotracheal tube could be removed immediately after the operation. Both patients have been doing well in a postoperative follow-up of over a year, and there have been evidences of growth in the reconstructed trachea.
