Dynamic stenosis of the right main bronchus in a 3-month-old child: a tracheobronchial sleeve resection under venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation

Eur J Cardiothorac Surg. 2019 Mar 1;55(3):579-581. doi: 10.1093/ejcts/ezy256.

Abstract

We report the case of a boy with congenital dynamic stenosis of the right main bronchus. The operation was postponed to a later date, when the patient was in a better clinical position to tolerate surgery. A tracheobronchial sleeve resection under dual-lumen venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation was performed.

Keywords: Congenital tracheobronchial stenosis; Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation; Paediatric; Tracheobronchial sleeve-resection.
