Interact Cardiovasc Thorac Surg. 2021 Jun 28;33(1):155-157. doi: 10.1093/icvts/ivab058.

Abstract

Congenital tracheal stenosis is a rare but serious condition with high mortality and morbidity. We present a 6-month-old patient with complex congenital tracheal stenosis involving the trachea, carina and right bronchus intermedius, which was corrected with a combination of slide tracheoplasty and side-to-side bronchoplasty.

Keywords: Bronchoplasty; Congenital tracheal stenosis; Tracheoplasty.
