DOI: 10.1016/j.thorsurg.2018.03.002
Abstract: Anterior mediastinal tracheostomy (AMT) is established after division of the retrosternal trachea following resection of extended upper airway malignancies, stomal recurrences, or cervicomediastinal exenteration. AMT is occasionally performed for nonmalignant diseases. Starting in the 1980s,… read more here.
