| Popis: | 1st World Congress of the Pediatric Thoracic Disciplines -- APR 21-22, 2000 -- IZMIN, TURKEY WOS: 000175423800030 PubMed ID: 11887074 A 5-month-old boy who had been operated for esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula was presented with recurrent life-threatening apneic spells, expiratory stridor and difficulty in feeding. Diagnosis of tracheomalacia was confirmed by bronchoscopy and pericardial flap aortopexy was performed. Pericardial flap aortopexy is a relatively simple procedure with minimal risk to the aorta. Minimal dissection is required and there are no sutures placed in the aortic wall, thus avoiding the risk of tears. |
