Vascular sling with tracheomalacia: surgical management.
Surgical repair of pulmonary artery sling without concomitant correction of associated tracheal abnormalities has yielded poor results in the past. We combined vascular sling repair done during cardiopulmonary bypass through a median sternotomy incision with tracheopexy for severe associated tracheomalacia in 2 infants. Neither experienced substantial postoperative respiratory difficulties and ...

متن کاملTracheomalacia and breath holding: a case report.
A child with a long standing history of cyanotic breath holding attacks presented with acute respiratory distress. Subsequent investigation established that her clinical condition was caused by tracheomalacia. We hypothesise that tracheomalacia might be an under recognised contributor to cyanotic breath holding attacks, the pathogenesis of which is poorly understood.
متن کاملA tracheostomy complication resulting from acquired tracheomalacia: case report.
Introduction Intraoperative complications of tracheostomy are well described in the literature. These include hemorrhage, perforation of the walls of the trachea and esophagus, recurrent laryngeal nerve injury, intraoperative fire, pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum, and tube displacement. We present an unusual complication encountered during a routine tracheostomy that resulted from severe tra...
