A 39-year-old man, whose airway was narrowed due to relapsing polychondritis, sustained a tracheobronchial injury during intubation with an internal stent. In the posterior membranous trachea and left main stem bronchus, a 5-cm longitudinal tear extended across the carina. Oxygenation was maintained by percutaneous cardiopulmonary support (PCPS) before and during the operation. An original esophageal tracheobronchoplasty for repair of the membranous laceration is described. Currently, the patient is asymptomatic 16 months after the surgery.
