Abstract:
The advent of the slide tracheoplasty technique and a multi-disciplinary approach has improved outcomes of congenital tracheal stenosis. However, tracheal surgery in younger patients with pulmonary malformations, especially low birth-weight neonates, has been associated with increased mortality. Patients with very low birth-weight, pulmonary malformations and prematurity may be palliated prior to definitive tracheal surgery due to the poor prognosis. We report a successful and unique approach of delaying tracheal reconstruction to allow growth and development in the premature, very low birth-weight neonate (1046g) with left lung agenesis.
