Tracheal laceration following double-lumen intubation during Ivor Lewis esophagogastrectomy

We would like to thank Dr. Foroulis for his comment on the use of autologous and bovine pericardium. The pros and cons of bovine pericardium are well known as well in the relevant international medical literature.

Our report refers to an urgent and life-threatening complication of double-lumen intubation which was treated successfully with the described technique [1]. The use of a previously irradiated autologous pericardium has a complete contraindication in our case, something that is admitted at the end of the comment [2].
