Abstract

Recurrent tracheoesophageal fistula (RTF) complicates 5% to 11% of cases of children treated at birth for esophageal atresia with inferior tracheoesophageal fistula, and it represents an important problem of respiratory morbidity and mortality. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the usefulness of large vascularized pleural flaps in the treatment of RTF and the prevention of recurrences.
