    Abstract:
    Atelectasis is one of the most common respiratory complications in pediatric patients after open-heart surgery, and may lead to weaning failure and increased morbidity. We report the use of an original, minimally invasive approach to refractory left lung atelectasis after repair of an aortic coarctation in a 2 month-old infant, in which a CPAP system connected to a flexible endobronchial tube resolved the atelectasis.
