Abstract

We report 2 cases of right pulmonary aplasia with left pulmonary artery sling responsible for severe respiratory symptoms. Repositioning of the left pulmonary artery without tracheal surgery was successful in both patients. The postoperative course was simple, and the outcome was favorable at last follow-up (after 2 years and 3 months, respectively). Computed tomography provided an accurate diagnostic evaluation that helped to choose the best surgical technique., (Copyright © 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.)

Abstract

Fetal medicine is developing rapidly and aims to improve the outcome for fetuses with congenital anomalies. Fetal endoscopic tracheal occlusion (FETO) has been developed for fetuses with congenital diaphragmatic hernia to counterbalance the compression of the lung by the abdominal viscera, preserving the pulmonary maturation. Because the perinatal morbidity and mortality of patients treated with FETO have decreased, new complications are emerging in the older survivors. Tracheomegaly has been reported to be a late complication of FETO, sometimes requiring tracheostomy. We report a case of bronchial dilatation after FETO and suggest an alternative surgical treatment., (Copyright © 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.)

Abstract

A full-term newborn male infant presented with dyspnea and cleft lip and palate. He was thought to have esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula. He underwent bronchoscopy before operation that showed a laryngotracheoesophageal cleft (LTEC) type III. The left main bronchus originated from the lower esophagus. His diagnosis was communicating bronchopulmonary foregut malformation (CBPFM) type IA associated with LTEC type III. Enhanced chest computed tomographic scan showed the left pulmonary artery originated from the descending aorta. Staged operations were indicated. At first, reconstruction of the left pulmonary artery was done at 3 months of age. Then at 6 months of age, operations for LTEC (tracheoplasty and esophagostomy) and CBPFM left bronchoplasty were performed. Reconstruction of esophagus was performed at age of 1 year. He is now 3 years old and doing well with a mild degree of bronchomalacia. This is the first report of total reconstruction of CBPFM type IA associated with LTEC.
