Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Based Evaluation of Anatomy and Outcome Prediction in Infants with Esophageal Atresia

DISCUSSION: These results demonstrate that infants without a proximal TEF have a larger proximal esophagus and a greater angle of tracheal deviation which is directly correlated with the need for longer post-operative respiratory support. Additionally, these results demonstrate that MRI is a useful tool to assess the anatomy of EA/TEF.PMID:36812903 | DOI:10.1159/000526794
