Rupture of supra-aortic neck arteries due to lesions caused by tracheal tubes

1984

Haemorrhages from the common carotid or innominate artery caused by tracheal tubes are rare but dramatic complications of head and neck surgery. Patients with metal tracheostomy cannulas or patients in the phase of wound healing after radical tumour resections of the pharynx and larynx run a greater risk. Following extensive tumour resections and radiation of the upper respiratory and digestive tracts in 680 patients, acute bleeding of the larger neck arteries occurred in 18 patients. In four of these cases, fistulae developed in the innominate or common carotid artery. These ruptures were caused by both plastic and metal tracheal tubes.

Carcinoma of the hypopharynx and the cervical oesophagus: a surgical challenge.

1999

To report our results after reconstruction of the upper digestive tract for locally advanced carcinoma of the hypopharynx and cervical oesophagus.Open study.Teaching University hospital, Germany.Of the 517 patients who presented with carcinoma of the oesophagus between September 1985 and March 1997, 16 had a locally advanced tumour of the hypopharynx and 25 of the cervical oesophagus.Free jejunal grafts were used after circular resection in all patients with carcinoma of the hypopharynx, and for the 3 with oesophageal carcinoma in whom we obtained adequate resection margins. In the remainder stomach was used in 21 and colon in 1.Morbidity and mortality.After jejunal grafting 1 patient died …
