    Author: Cappeliez S, Lenoir S, Validire P, Gossot D.
    Journal: Eur J Cardiothorac Surg; 2009 Jul; 36(1):222-4. PubMed ID: 19372046.
    Abstract:
    Congenital bronchial atresia is a congenital obliteration of a segmental or lobar bronchus resulting in an inflation of the correspondent parenchyma. It may lead to infectious complications and in the long-term to alteration of the adjacent lung parenchyma. As it usually occurs in young and healthy patients with normal lungs, this disorder is particularly suitable for a full endoscopic pulmonary resection. We report our recent experience of two lobectomies and one segmentectomy in three patients.
