Tracheobronchial issues in congenital heart disease

Catherine K Hart et al. Semin Thorac Cardiovasc Surg Pediatr Card Surg Annu. 2015.

Abstract

In children with congenital heart disease, tracheobronchial compromise is uncommon but potentially life-threatening. Airway lesions in these patients may be congenital or acquired, and may be stenotic, compressive, or malacic in nature. We present an overview of the etiologies of tracheobronchial lesions typically seen in children with congenital heart disease and review management options for these lesions.
