“…The principal surgical treatment is resection of the anomalous pulmonary tissue, but recently, cases of bronchotracheal reconstructions have been described [3,4]. Such malformations should be considered even in children with EA-TEF because 16% of EA-TEF cases are associated with CBPFM in a classification proposed on anatomical and embryological criteria [5].…”

Reimplantation of oesophageal bronchus following a type III oesophageal atresia repair

et al. 2005

Oesophageal atresia can be associated with communicating bronchopulmonary foregut malformations, the most common being the oesophageal bronchus. Lung resection may be mandatory, but conservative treatment correcting the abnormal airway has been proposed, raising the difficult issue of perioperative ventilatory support. The authors report a case of successful reimplantation of oesophageal bronchus revealed after surgical cure of an oesophageal atresia with tracheo-oesophageal fistula.

“…Successful correction of oesophageal bronchus is not well described in the literature. Surgery is associated with a high perioperative mortality usually linked to ventilation deficiencies [3,8]. Because single-lung ventilation is poorly tolerated, selective intubation of both lungs during the whole surgical procedure was necessary.…”

“…In pediatric population, studies concerning airway complications after bronchus reimplantation are provided by lung transplantation's (LT) series [5,6] and by some reported cases of traumatic bronchial ruptures or esophageal bronchus [7,8] or iatrogenic injury [4]. Bronchial stenosis was estimated to 7.6% in pediatric LT [5] and was reported in three cases of bronchotracheal reconstruction of esophageal bronchus [7,8].…”

Thoracoscopic right middle lobar bronchus reimplantation for iatrogenic injury in infant: is it a good option?

We report the first case in the literature of thoracoscopic bronchial reimplantation in 5 month-old boy. The child was born with congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the right lower lobe associated with lower intralobar pulmonary sequestration diagnosed prenatally. An iatrogenic middle lobar bronchus injury was detected per-operatively during thoracoscopic lobectomy. Management and follow-up were exposed.

“…Since then, 61 cases have been reported in the literature. Various anatomical patterns of communication between the lung and GIT, status of the lung regarding involvement of the entire lung or a lobe, and blood supply to the lung tissue have been described [2,[4][5][6]. However, few reports have noted concomitant congenital tracheobronchial stenosis.…”

“…Bronchopulmonary foregut malformation without tracheobronchial stenosis may be well managed by resection of the involved lung, or by preservation of the lung by tracheobronchial reconstruction [5]. However, surgical management becomes extremely difficult when tracheobronchial stenosis is present.…”

Communicating bronchopulmonary foregut malformation: particular emphasis on concomitant congenital tracheobronchial stenosis

A total of four patients with communicating bronchopulmonary foregut malformation were treated surgically at Kobe Children's Hospital between 1993 and 2004. Of these, three patients displayed congenital tracheobronchial stenosis and developed life-threatening respiratory distress soon after birth. In each case, anomalous bronchi arose from the lower portion of the esophagus and connected to the lower part of the ipsilateral lung. This anomaly involved the right lung in two patients, and the left lung in one patient. Tracheobronchial stenosis extended from the inlet of the thorax to the carina in one patient, and to the contralateral main stem bronchus in two patients. Surgical treatment included division of the esophageal bronchus and anastomosis of bronchus to the trachea in one patient. In the other patient, the ipsilateral lung was resected and the stenotic tracheobronchus was stented. The remaining patient underwent pneumonectomy of the ipsilateral lung. Details of this fatal anomaly and a discussion of appropriate surgical management are described herein.
