Abstract

The timing of recanalization of the bronchial artery interrupted by esophagectomy was investigated by microangiography in dogs and effectiveness of omental wrapping on healing of the bronchial anastomosis was evaluated.
After combined esophagectomy and pulmonary resection, healing of the bronchial anastomosis is apt to be poor, especially in terms of recanalization of the interrupted bronchial artery. Omentopexy was found to be of great benefit in promoting regeneration of the interrupted bronchial artery following bronchoplasty.
