“…CT is particularly helpful for assessment of associated cardiovascular anomalies, such as aberrant left pulmonary artery, which are common. Care must be taken not to underestimate the extent of disease or misdiagnose associated bronchomalacia as fixed stenosis (Figure 4) (23). This is also a good example of the value of combining bronchoscopy with bronchography, which has excellent spatial and temporal resolution, and which demonstrates the airway distal to the stenosis, where it may not be safe to advance the bronchoscope (24).…”

Various imaging techniques may be used to diagnose airway obstruction in children. Digital radiography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are the most important modalities, but the choice of technique will depend on the level and nature of suspected obstruction, as well as patient-specific factors such as age and ability to cooperate. This review examines the forms of airway obstruction that are commonly encountered in childhood.

Development of a preliminary pediatric tracheal growth model from magnetic resonance images

Our study demonstrates the potential to create a growth model of the normal trachea based on cross-sectional area of the trachea using MRIs. Even with the relatively small number of patients used to build it, the model has demonstrated some ability to be used as an objective prediction tool when deciding a treatment path for a patient. With continued development of precise, objective measures to diagnose the severity of the tracheal stenosis, more patients can be given early and accurate prognosis and be treated appropriately.

Objectives: Congenital tracheal stenosis (CTS) is a rare but life-threatening condition in children. At present, slide tracheoplasty has been advocated as the preferred technique for most cases of CTS. However, the morbidity and mortality subsequent to slide tracheoplasty need further elaboration. Therefore, a meta-analysis was performed on the outcomes of slide tracheoplasty in children with CTS.Study Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis. Methods: Electronic databases, including PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library CENTRAL, were systematically searched for the period from January 1990 to March 2021 for literature that reported clinical outcomes of slide tracheoplasty for children with CTS. Meta-regression and subgroup analyses were performed to determine the risk factors for in-hospital mortality and airway reinterventions.Results: A total of 25 studies involving 577 patients were included. For children with CTS, in-hospital and overall mortality after slide tracheoplasty was 6.1% (95% CI = 4.2%-8.0%) and 9.7% (95% CI = 7.3%-12.1%), respectively. The incidence of airway reinterventions was 23.0% (95% CI = 15.6%-30.5%). The length of postoperative ventilation and hospital stay was 6.8 days (95% CI = 5.1-8.4 days) and 19.2 days (95% CI = 15.8-22.7 days), respectively. Postoperative complications occurred in 46.6% (95% CI = 35.8%-57.4%) of all patients. Meta-regression analysis showed that a higher proportion of the recently published studies reported significantly better in-hospital survival (coefficient À0.011, P = .021).Conclusions: In conclusion, in-hospital mortality after slide tracheoplasty is 6.1%, and the incidence of airway reinterventions is 23.0%. In-hospital mortality after slide tracheoplasty has decreased chronologically.
