Özet

Background: Tracheal bronchus is an abnormal bronchus that comes directly off the lateral wall of the trachea (ie, above the main carina) and supplies ventilation to the upper lobe. A new nomenclature and classification system has been developed for tracheal bronchus. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the anatomic and bronchoscopic features of tracheal bronchus subtypes on the basis of the new nomenclature and classification system.
