The carinal resection is still considered a real challenge, both for a thoracic surgeon and an anesthesiologist. Depending on the indications and the degree of local advancement of the neoplasm, there are 2 techniques of carinal resection and reconstruction. The first one consists of the isolated resection with formation of a new bifurcation, whereas the second one is a combination of anatomic resection of lung parenchyma together with the bifurcation and the subsequent reconstruction. Long-term outcomes after carinal resection procedures, with clear postoperative margins, depend to a large extent on the stage of advancement of the primary disease.

Background: Carinal resection and reconstruction are complex surgical procedures often necessitated by tumors or other pathologies involving the tracheobronchial junction. Traditional approaches to these surgeries are highly invasive. The advent of uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) along with the integration of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) offer potential advantages in reducing surgical trauma and improving outcomes.

Carinoplasty can be divided into the one-stoma method, the montage method, the double-barrel method, and the Miyamoto method. The one-stoma method is usually performed with right upper sleeve lobectomy, and with an anastomosis of the intermediate trunk to a carina. On the other hand, in the montage method, the double-barrel method or the Miyamoto method, carina is completely resected and the trachea, left main bronchus and right bronchus are divided into three pieces.

Article Synopsis
- Carinal resection involves removing the tracheal-bronchial bifurcation and may include lung resection, typically for primary tumors with limited carina involvement.
- Mortality rates after this procedure range from 3% to 20% in high-volume surgical centers.
- Surgical challenges include the lesion's location and the risk of complications like devascularization, separation, and stenosis, which can be influenced by the surgical technique used.

Airway management in complex tracheobronchial surgery (TBS) remains a challenge in thoracic surgery. The use of extracorporeal membrane pulmonary oxygenation (ECMO) in thoracic surgery is rather rare, except for lung transplantation. To report the safety and efficacy of ECMO in complex TBS, a total of 5 patients with tracheobronchial and bronchial reconstructive surgery supported by ECMO in the Department of Thoracic Surgery of Tangdu Hospital, Air Force Medical University from May 2019 to June 2024 were collected.
