Abstract

Tracheal dehiscence remains one of the most feared complications after heart-lung transplantation because of its nearly universal fatality rate. Drawing on experiences from the tracheal reconstruction and the lung transplantation literature, we report the successful repair of tracheal dehiscence, after heart-lung transplantation, with an intercostal muscle flap.
