Abstract:
Congenital tracheal stenosis is frequently associated with heart malformations. Simultaneous correction of both anomalies has been advocated by several authors. We describe our experience with a premature neonate with congenital tracheal stenosis and tetralogy of Fallot. The anomalies were corrected during the same surgical procedure with the aid of extracorporeal circulation. The implications of the operative and postoperative courses, concerning both the cardiac anomaly and the tracheal anomaly are discussed.
