Abstract

A 72-year-old male was admitted to our hospital with the chief complaint of stridor. Bronchoscopy revealed severe tracheal stenosis due to tuberculosis. We performed tracheal reconstruction surgery using a percutaneous cardiopulmonary support system. The femoral artery and vein were cannulated for bypass under local anesthesia, and an endotracheal tube was inserted near the stenosis. As ventilation was not complete, we performed thoracotomy using a percutaneous cardiopulmonary support system. The post-operative course was uneventful. We believe PCPS to be a simple and useful aid in tracheal stenosis repair when endotracheal ventilation is difficult.
