Long-segment congenital tracheal stenosis (LSCTS) is a rare condition. Originally, it was felt to be uniformly fatal; however, advances in technique have made surgical repair and survival possible. Our objective is to report results and technique of slide tracheoplasty for the treatment of LSCTS in the context of the overall experience at the Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago. We reviewed 37 cases of infants and children with LSCTS. Thirty of the 37 infants underwent surgical intervention. Slide tracheoplasty resulted in survival in 1 of 2 infants, and pericardial patch tracheoplasty resulted in survival in 21 of 28 (75%). Of the 30 patients who had surgical repair, 7 (23%) have died, and 1 has been lost to follow-up (3%). Follow-up has ranged from 6 months to 13 years. Slide tracheoplasty is a satisfactory adjunct to existing techniques. With early diagnosis and appropriate management of LSCTS, survival is possible in a majority of patients.

The Mean

We have managed 23 infants and children with severe tracheal stenosis due to congenital complete tracheal rings producing a long-segment stenosis of the trachea. Nineteen (83%) have survived this life-threatening cause of airway obstruction, 7 of whom also had pulmonary artery slings. Pericardial patch tracheoplasty facilitated by partial cardiopulmonary bypass is currently our preferred technique for surgical repair. Eighteen patients (78%) underwent operative intervention, 3 of whom (17%) have died since surgery. The mean follow-up is 4.5 years. Bronchoscopy is essential for preoperative diagnosis and accurate intraoperative incision of the trachea, and is critical for long-term postoperative airway management. The more distal lesions are associated with increased complications and a higher mortality rate.

The objective of this presentation is to outline long-term complications and their management in contrast to acute measures after endotracheal laser-induced fire. This case focuses on a 56-year-old patient in whom an endotracheal fire occurred during CO2 laser surgery. Despite local swelling and evidence of acute lung injury, the patient was extubated the following day under single-shot cortisone and inhalation of dispersed adrenaline under assisted spontaneous breathing. Wound healing was assessed by regular flexible bronchoscopy and spirometry. Fourteen weeks after uneventful recovery, the patient presented with acute inspiratory stridor, related to a tracheal stenosis 2.5 cm distal to the glottic level. After tracheal end-to-end anastomosis, further follow-up was uneventful. Early extubation under ITU conditions avoided the need for tracheostomy and its sequelae. However, tracheal stenosis did not become apparent before week 14. While in acute management of laser-induced endotracheal fire a conservative approach was established successfully, the risk of further long-term complications implies the need for a prolonged follow-up regime even in cases of less extensive burns.

Objective Congenital airway stenosis secondary to absent tracheal or bronchial rings is a rare congenital anomaly that is difficult to manage both clinically and surgically. This typically manifests as severe segmental tracheomalacia, and only isolated cases with short-term follow-up have been previously described. We aim to describe a series of children with absent tracheal or bronchial rings who underwent surgical management and had long-term follow-up. Study Design Case series with chart review. Setting Tertiary care pediatric hospital. Methods Patients with absent tracheal or bronchial rings from 2002 to 2016. Electronic and paper medical records were queried to obtain demographics, age at diagnosis and surgery, pre- and postoperative symptoms, location of absent rings, procedure performed, length of follow-up, and adjunctive procedures performed. Results Nine subjects were identified who underwent slide tracheoplasty for correction of congenital absent tracheal or bronchial rings. Age at diagnosis ranged from 10 days to 5 years of age (median, 4 weeks). Age at surgery ranged from 3 weeks to 5 years of age (median, 5 weeks). Six out of 9 subjects were extubated on postoperative day 1. Only 1 subject required additional intervention, which included balloon dilation, tracheobronchial stenting, and aortopexy to alleviate the obstruction. Mean follow-up time was 5.89 years. Conclusions This is the largest series of children with absent tracheal rings who underwent slide tracheoplasty with long-term follow-up presented to date. Slide tracheoplasty is an effective surgical intervention for the treatment of absent tracheal or bronchial rings in infants and young children.
