Abstract
Congenital tracheal stenosis can be a life-threatening disease, especially in cases involving the long-segment of the trachea. When patients are symptomatic immediately after birth or develop an accompanying complex cardiac anomaly, surgical repair can be a considerable challenge. We experienced a tracheoplasty in one early infant weighing 2.6 kg and one neonate who had ventilator dependency from long-segment congenital tracheal stenosis and congenital cardiac anomaly. One early infant, who had diffuse stenosis of distal trachea after ventricular septal defect closure, underwent resection and extended end to end anastomosis. One neonate who had diffuse stenosis of proximal trachea with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), underwent slide tracheoplasty with total correction for TOF Postoperative chest computed tomography showed widely patent trachea. Both infants are now well without symptoms.
