Background

Prof. Stefano Cafarotti has successfully led the world’s first pulmonary artery trunk transplant for a patient with thymic carcinoma.

The pioneering procedure involved the complete resection of a locally advanced thymic carcinoma infiltrating the main pulmonary artery, followed by vascular reconstruction using a pulmonary artery homograft—a feat never before reported in the management of this disease.
