Abstract
Usually patients with typical carcinoid tumors originating in a segmen tal bronchus undergo segmentectomy with or without a bronchoplastic pr ocedure. We have performed only sleeve resection of the bronchus for a bronchial carcinoid tumor located in the left basal bronchus thus pre serving the lung tissue. This was made possible by transecting and rea nastomosing the pulmonary artery.
