Management of tracheomalacia in association with congenital tracheo-oesophageal fistula.
Tracheomalacia is commonly associated with oesophageal atresia and tracheo-oesophageal fistula. Severe cases may present with life threatening cyanotic and apnoeic attacks following surgical repair of the oesophageal atresia. The anaesthetic, and surgical management (by tracheopexy), of such a case are described.
