“…The prognosis of pulmonary artery sling is variable depending on presentation. Surgery is the standard of care for all symptomatic patients (2). Recently, Fiore et al have demonstrated a 79% survival rate in patients undergoing correction via transection of the left pulmonary artery and reimplantation anterior to the trachea (5).…”

“…In this condition, left pulmonary artery encircles the distal trachea and right main stem bronchus as it courses between the trachea and esophagus to reach the hilum of the left lung (1)(2)(3). Usually, the clinical outcome of these patients depends on the associated tracheal lesions and complex cardiac anomalies atrial and ventricular septal defects, patent ductus arteriosus, left superior vena cava, and tetralogy of Fallot (4).…”

“…The proportion of patients with long-term symptoms after surgical correction varies between 8 and 30% [4, 5]. Of more concern is the fact that almost half of the patients evaluated in the long term with flow volume spirometry showed features of residual airway obstruction [6]. Surgical relief of asymptomatic vascular rings is increasingly advocated in children to reduce the risk of tracheomalacia in adult life.…”

“…A traqueomalácia e as pneumopatias crônicas são as causas mais freqüentes da manutenção de sintomas respiratórios no pós-operatório. Esses sintomas residuais podem ser relacionados a alterações na dinâmica traqueal, lesões crônicas do parênquima pulmonar, hiper-reatividade crônica de vias aéreas e infecções de repetição 7,19,20 . No pós-operatório, a fisioterapia respiratória e a antibioticoprofilaxia são de grande valor no tratamento a longo prazo dessas crianças.…”
