Tracheal resection with end-to-end anastomosis (TREE) has many advantages over conservative treatment in terms of long-term results; however, this method requires improved safety and accessibility. We aimed to combine expanded venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) during TREE surgery...
