Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Laryngotracheo-esophageal cleft is a rare congenital anomaly that occurs when the trachea and esophagus fail to separate during fetal development. Clinical severity varies greatly in anatomic cleft extent. We report the successful management of the airway of a neonate with type IV laryngotracheo-esophageal cleft for the gastric division surgery by dividing the esophagogastric continuity between the esophageal orifice and the stomach using the balloon catheter and remaining spontaneous breathing through the large cuffed tracheal tube inserted into the esophageal orifice.
