Reply: Reported experience of full-circumferential tracheal replacement with cartilage-reinforced forearm free flaps
We thank Sarsam and colleagues1 for their comments about our article2 reporting our experience of extended resection for bronchial and tracheal adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC). In this correspondence addressing our article, they were concerned by the outcomes after full-circumferential tracheal replacement (FCTR) with cartilage-reinforced forearm free flaps.

Surgical repair of peripheral pulmonary artery stenosis: Is there still a place for transcatheter interventions?
In this issue of the Journal, Felmly and colleagues1 retrospectively reviewed their 2-decade experience with the surgical repair of peripheral pulmonary artery stenosis (PPAS). The authors should be congratulated for their outstanding results, with low mortality and a 70% reduction in right ventricle to aorta peak systolic pressure ratios. The authors described the evolution of their surgical techniques and shared their excellent mid-term outcome at 26  months (range, 1-220 months). Interestingly, during follow-up, cardiac catheterizations were performed in 59% of the survivors, with 90% maintaining pressure ratios (Sour...
