Abstract

PURPOSE: The authors describe a new technique for management of complete tracheal rings in infants.

METHODS: The procedure consists of rigid bronchoscopy with KTP laser division, in the posterior midline, of the complete rings and gradual advancement of the bronchoscope aided by endoscopic balloon dilation.

CONCLUSIONS: The laser division, coupled with balloon dilation, allows for controlled separation of the cartilages posteriorly. The anterior esophageal wall buttresses the posterior tracheal separation.
