Repair of Tracheal Dehiscence After Heart-Lung Transplant Complicated by SARS-CoV-2 Infection

Airway complications are a major cause of morbidity after thoracic transplantation. Airway ischemia, necrosis, and tracheobronchial anastomotic dehiscence are associated with early mortality. We describe a case of tracheal anastomotic dehiscence after en bloc heart-lung transplant complicated by sev...

description Airway complications are a major cause of morbidity after thoracic transplantation. Airway ischemia, necrosis, and tracheobronchial anastomotic dehiscence are associated with early mortality. We describe a case of tracheal anastomotic dehiscence after en bloc heart-lung transplant complicated by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection. Timely surgical management and reconstruction with a bovine pericardial patch and double muscle flap were performed. After 8 months of follow-up, there are no airway complications and normalized allograft function.
