چکیده

OBJECTIVES To evaluate and report the outcome of costal cartilage tracheoplasty for the treatment of congenital long-segment tracheal stenosis. DESIGN Retrospective chart review. SETTING Academic tertiary care children's hospital. PATIENTS Consecutive series of 10 patients who presented with congenital long-segment tracheal stenosis. INTERVENTION All patients underwent costal cartilage tracheoplasty while receiving cardiopulmonary bypass. MEASUREMENTS Age at repair, weight at repair, length of stenosis, minimal diameter of stenosis, postoperative days receiving ventilator support, postoperative days until discharge, postoperative bronchoscopies, postoperative complications, associated anomalies, survival rate, and current status. RESULTS There were 8 males and 2 females with an average age at repair of 18 weeks. Average weight was 5.2 kg. Average length of stenosis was 3.2 cm, and average minimal diameter was 1.9 mm. Average postoperative days receiving ventilator support was 17 with a median of 9.5. Average postoperative days until discharge was 35.2 with a median of 17. Average postoperative bronchoscopies was 18 with a median of 4.5. There was a 40% major postoperative complication rate. Seven of the patients had associated anomalies. No patient died from an inadequate tracheal airway, though 2 patients ultimately died from other cardiopulmonary complications for a survival rate of 80%. Average time since surgery for survivors is 8.0 years. Two patients still require treatment. Seven of the original 10 patients are fully active without tracheostomy. CONCLUSION We report one of the largest series of costal cartilage tracheoplasty for congenital long-segment tracheal stenosis and one that has met with a relatively high success rate.
