Iatrogenic tracheobronchial disruption is a rare, life-threatening condition. Depending upon the extent of the injury, its location, and the condition of the patient, repair/reconstruction options may be limited. The natural history of bovine pericardium used to repair one such tracheal injury has been documented.
