Temporary bronchial stenting for airway compression in the interstage palliation of functional single ventricle

Temporary bronchial stenting for airway compression in the interstage palliation of functional single ventricle ANNALS OF PEDIATRIC CARDIOLOGY Barnes, J., Boesch, R., Balakrishnan, K., Said, S. M., Van Dorn, C. S. 2019; 12 (3): 308–11

Abstract

The Norwood procedure is the first of three palliative surgical procedures offered for hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS). Due to the small size of the thorax and proximity of airway and vascular structures, compression of the airway is possible following the Norwood procedure. We describe the management of an infant with HLHS following Stage I surgical palliation who developed refractory respiratory failure secondary to severe left bronchial compression.
