[Compressive brachio-cephalic arterial trunk and gastro-oesophageal reflux following surgery for oesophageal atresia (author's transl)].
6 cases of cardiorespiratory complications occurring after surgical treatment of oesophageal atresia are reported by virtue of the association of tracheal compression by the brachio-cephalic arterial trunk and of gastro-oesophageal reflux. In all cases, medical (2 cases) or surgical (4 cases) treatment of gastro-oesophageal reflux led to the disappearance of all respiratory symptoms and signs. Emphasis is placed upon the need for a routine and thorough search, radiological and endoscopic, of such associated oesophageal pathology, before proceeding to surgery on the compressive brachio-cephalic arterial trunk.
