“…Since several investigators working with Cooper have reported that omentopexy markedly improves the healing of bronchial anastomosis in experimental lung transplantation (19, 20), clinical use of omental wrapping has met with success (2). However, the development of the telescoping anastomotic technique with reduced donor bronchial length and the good results it has obtained has then supplanted omentopexy for bronchial anastomoses (1).…”

Ischemia is the primary risk factor for airway complications in double lung transplantation using tracheal anastomosis and in tracheal transplantation. Many treatment options as to revascularization for the trachea were herein described and reviewed. They include direct revascularization (using a conduit such as artery or vein), revascularization with tissue wrapping (using omentum, muscle, internal thoracic artery pedicle, pleura, or pericardial fat pad), and with drug administration (using corticosteroid hormone, prostaglandin, or angiogenic factor). As there are few organized reports including new information on revascularization for the trachea these days, this review article would help thoracic surgeons who get engaged transplantation.

“…14 It was also shown by this group that cyclosporine had no effect on bronchial anastomotic healing, 15 and that the ischemic donor bronchus could be revascularized by a pedicled flap of greater omentum. 16 At about this time, the Stanford group provided a great stimulus for further development of lung transplantation with their first report of successful combined heart-lung transplantation. 17 This experience was facilitated by the availability of the new immunosuppressive agent, cyclosporine.…”

“…The bronchial arteries are not usually revascularized, although some authors have recommended the transplantation with the revascularization of the bronchial artery [6][7][8]. Experimental works have shown that ischemia of the donor bronchus is an important factor for bronchial complications [9][10][11][12]. Wrapping with omentum [10,12] or intercostal muscle flaps [9,12] has been used to protect and revascularize bronchial anastomoses.…”

It has been shown that this method allowed local revascularization, although it took several days [9,10]. During this time, the donor bronchus received blood supply from collaterals of the pulmonary circulation.…”
