  • Title: The Fogarty balloon catheter as an aid to management of the infant with esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula complicated by severe RDS or pneumonia.
    Author: Filston HC, Chitwood WR, Schkolne B, Blackmon LR.
    Journal: J Pediatr Surg; 1982 Apr; 17(2):149-51. PubMed ID: 7077495.
    Abstract:
    Early ventilatory failure in an infant with EA/TEF may prove difficult to manage because of the low resistance "vent" provided by the TEF. In this Case Report Fogarty balloon occlusion of the vent was possible and aided management of the patient who was not a candidate for primary repair of the anomaly.
