LID - 10.1007/s00246-023-03118-9 [doi] AB - The indications and surgical techniques for airway stenosis (AS) repair among patients with bridging bronchus (BB) and congenital heart disease (CHD) have not been fully established. We sought to provide our experience with tracheobronchoplasty in a large series of BB patients with AS and CHD. Eligible patients were retrospectively enrolled from June 2013 to December 2017 and were followed up to December 2021. Epidemiological, demographic, clinical, imaging, surgical management, and outcome data were obtained. 5 tracheobronchoplasty techniques including 2 novel modified ones were performed. We included 30 BB patients with AS and CHD. Tracheobronchoplasty was indicated in them. 27 (90%) patients underwent tracheobronchoplasty. But 3 (10%) refused AS repair. 4 subtypes of the BB and 5 main sites of AS were identified. 6 (22.2%) cases, including one death, had severe postoperative complications associated with being underweight at surgery, preoperative mechanical ventilation, and more types of CHD. 3 cases were lost to follow-up. 18 (78.3%) of the survivors remained asymptomatic, and 5 (21.7%) had stridor, wheezing, or polypnea after exercise. 2 patients out of the three who did not undergo airway surgery died, and the one survivor had a poor quality of life. Good outcomes can be achieved in BB patients with AS and CHD who undergo proper tracheobronchoplasty techniques guided by specified criteria, but severe postoperative complications should be well managed.
