“…En los casos con gran sintomatología, que se presentan generalmente en edad neonatal, es necesaria la cirugía, aunque en ocasiones es suficiente con seguimiento endoscópico o tratamientos locales, por ejemplo, dilatación traqueal como sucede en los pacientes adultos. 3…”

“…The flow-volume curve was consistent with an upper airway obstruction pattern in five patients [ 3 – 5 , 11 , 14 ], decreased %FEV 1.0 was reported in two patients [ 3 , 5 ], and decreased peak expiratory flow was reported in three patients [ 3 , 5 , 14 ]. Ten of the 17 patients underwent surgery [ 3 , 5 – 8 , 10 , 15 , 17 , 18 ]. The airway was secured by tracheal intubation in seven patients [ 3 , 5 – 7 , 15 , 18 ].…”

“…The airway was secured by tracheal intubation in seven patients [ 3 , 5 – 7 , 15 , 18 ]. Due to the failure in tracheal intubation, airway was secured using a laryngeal mask airway in two patients [ 10 , 17 ], and emergency tracheostomy was performed in the remaining patient [ 8 ]. In 10 of the 17 patients, difficult intubation was the initial event in the detection of CTS [ 5 – 10 , 15 , 17 , 18 ].…”

In 10 of the 17 patients, difficult intubation was the initial event in the detection of CTS [ 5 – 10 , 15 , 17 , 18 ]. These data suggest that careful inspection of imaging findings and pulmonary function test results are important, and that anesthesiologists should assume the possibility of undiagnosed CTS when facing unexpected difficult intubation.…”

Successful airway management with combined use of a McGRATHTM MAC videolaryngoscope and fiberoptic bronchoscope in a patient with congenital tracheal stenosis diagnosed in adulthood

et al. 2021

Background Most patients with congenital tracheal stenosis (CTS) develop respiratory symptoms early in life. CTS remaining undiagnosed until adulthood is rare. Case presentation A 51-year-old female was scheduled for cardiovascular surgery. She had undergone laparoscopic surgery 3 years earlier and was found to have a difficult airway. Postoperatively, she was diagnosed with CTS. For the current cardiovascular surgery, combined use of a McGRATHTM MAC videolaryngoscope and fiberoptic bronchoscope allowed sufficient visualization of the glottis and trachea, resulting in successful intubation. Conclusions CTS patients have a high probability of difficult intubation. Our experience suggests the efficacy of combined use of a videolaryngoscope and fiberoptic bronchoscope for airway management in CTS patients.

Pulmonary artery sling is a rare childhood vascular tracheobronchial compression syndrome that is frequently associated with tracheal stenosis. Consequently, neonates or infants may present with critical airway obstruction if there is long segment airway narrowing and complete rings. Rapid diagnosis of this cardiac vascular malformation and evaluation of the extent and severity of airway involvement is essential to plan surgery, typically a slide tracheoplasty to relieve critical airway obstruction. Long term outcome can be excellent following surgical repair of the stenosed airway and reimplantation of the left pulmonary artery. In this review we focus on the embryology, diagnostic workup, airway investigations and management for this rare but challenging congenital condition.
