  • Title: Unilateral pulmonary agenesis, esophageal atresia, and distal tracheoesophageal fistula.
    Author: Steadland KM, Langham MR, Greene MA, Bagwell CE, Kays DW, Talbert JL.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 1995 Feb; 59(2):511-3. PubMed ID: 7847978.
    Abstract:
    A small-for-gestational-age, premature infant with the combination of unilateral pulmonary agenesis, esophageal atresia, and distal tracheoesophageal fistula was treated successfully by early gastrostomy and delayed fistula division with esophagoesophagostomy. Only 2 other successfully treated cases have been reported previously. Both were full-term infants treated with early division of the tracheoesophageal fistula and esophagoesophagostomy. Gestational age, size, and associated medical problems need to be considered when planning operative therapy for these babies.
