Abstract
These data demonstrate that tracheal repair is not always necessary in the presence of pulmonary artery sling; that agenesis of the right lung is not a contraindication to successful complete repair; and that simultaneous correction of intracardiac defects can be safely performed in selected patients. This study suggests that in newborns and infants, pericardial patch and slide tracheoplasty are effective methods for trachea reconstruction.
