Carcinoids of the left main bronchus are rare tumors of the bronchial system and patients often present with dyspnea, asthma-like symptoms, and pneumonia. Gold standard for therapy of carcinoids is surgical resection, but the surgical approach for segmental resection and anastomosis of the left main bronchus is a matter of discussion. With a left-sided approach the access to the bronchus is blocked by the aortic arch and the pulmonary vein. If a right-sided approach is performed, the problem of ventilation during resection and anastomosis of the bronchus occurs. We present a surgical approach from the right side using intraoperative extracorporeal membrane oxygenation to assure oxygen supply for resection of a typical carcinoid of the left main stem bronchus, and discuss the current literature.

Abstract Bronchial sleeve resection is an uncommon thoracic surgical procedure. Under specific conditions, patients can be selected to undergo a sleeve resection of the main bronchus with complete parenchymal preservation. The left main bronchus is longer than the contralateral bronchus, therefore left endobronchial tumours can be localized at the proximal end of the bronchus or distally, near the secondary carina. Bronchial anastomosis in these 2 situations requires different approaches. We present the surgical technique of left main bronchus resection with complete preservation of lung parenchyma through a hemi-clamshell incision (proximal tumour) or posterolateral thoracotomy (distal tumour).
