摘要
We successfully used argon plasma coagulation (APC) and tranilast to treat granulation tissue that had formed on an end-to-end tracheal anastomosis. APC had several advantages over laser in the management of exuberant granulation tissue, and we considered tranilast to be effective in our patient. To our knowledge, this is the first description of the use of APC in the management of anastomotic granulation tissue in the trachea or bronchus.
