“…In this series of 20 patients, we show that the use of direct tracheobronchopexy, with either anterior suspension and/or posterior fixation for severe TBM, resulted in anatomic correction and resolution of ALTEs at follow-up and also significantly reduced the incidence of recurrent pneumonias. Either open aortopexy, or more recently, thoracoscopic aortopexies, has been used to treat TM and TBM [14][15][16]. Other operative options have included surgical lateropexia, tracheal reconstruction, external stabilization, tracheostomies and suspensions [14,17].…”
