Highlights
BackgroundEsophageal atresia (EA) is the most common congenital malformation of the esophagus, occurring in 1 in 2500 to 4500 newborns [1]
Our data confirmed that anastomotic stricture is frequent in patients with esophageal atresia (EA) after surgical correction
Endoscopic management of stenosis is a safe and effective procedure that lead to a limited number of complications
Summary
Esophageal atresia (EA) is the most common congenital malformation of the esophagus, occurring in 1 in 2500 to 4500 newborns [1]. EA is characterized by an interruption of the esophageal lumen, with or without a connection with the trachea (tracheoesophageal fistula) [2]. EA may present as an isolated abnormality, in approximately 50% of cases one or multiple associated defects can be identified. EA may occur as part of VACTERL association (at least three features between: Vertebral defects, Anal atresia, Cardiac defects, Tracheoesophageal fistula, Renal and Limb anomalies) [4]. Esophageal stenosis (ES) is the most common complication associated with congenital esophageal atresia (EA). The aim of this study is to describe the endoscopic approach of esophageal stenosis in children with EA admitted to our tertiary care center
