Özet

In a 45-year-old male with complete A-V block, the mass lesion located on the carina and causing serious tracheal obstruction was removed with right tracheal sleeve pneumonectomy and was histopathologically diagnosed as typical carcinoid tumor. In the resection material of right upper lobectomy performed 15 years ago due to bronchiectasy, carcinoid tumor was identified in the lobe bronchus. Because of recurrence of the carcinoid tumor 15 years later, co-presence of A-V complete block due to carcinoid cardiopathy, and the application of surgical treatment with bronchoplastic method as tracheal sleeve pneumonectomy, the case has been presented with the related literature.
