“…Because of the problems in obtaining adequate exposure, tears at the left side of the trachea are more difficult to treat. Nevertheless, in special cases, when the tracheal injury is found on this side and associated with left sided chest hemorrhage or left bronchopulmonary injuries, an ipsilateral thoracotomy alone is possible and may be successful with mobilization of the distal aortic arch and descending aorta after dividing the intercostal vessels [19]. Angelillo-Mackinlay [10] described the repair of a distal membraneous tracheal laceration through a longitudinal midline incision of the anterior tracheal wall after a cervical (mediastinoscopy) approach and claimed the advantage of avoiding a thoracotomy.…”

“…Por esta via, o alcance ao brônquio principal esquerdo e principalmente, à traquéia, é dificultado pela presença da croça da aorta. 7,5,10,28 Entretanto, Chen & Ott 30 , mostraram que é possível, com uma toracotomia póstero-lateral esquerda, acessar o terço distal da traquéia até 5cm acima da bifurcação traqueal. Mobilizaram distalmente o arco aórtico, a artéria subclávia e a aorta descendente, expondo dessa forma uma laceração de 4cm localizada na parte distal e membranosa da traquéia (Figura 4).…”
