Pulmonary artery sling: primary repair by tracheal resection in infancy

J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg. 1989 Apr;97(4):548-50.

Abstract

Two case reports illustrate a new technique of tracheal resection for primary one-stage correction of pulmonary artery sling. This allows both for removal of the stenotic tracheal segment and for left pulmonary arteriopexy without need for vascular anastomosis.
