Neonatal peri-procedural extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in the management of tracheo-esophageal fistula/esophageal atresia and left pulmonary agenesis

We present the first successful repair of TEF/EA with complete left-sided pulmonary agenesis. This patient also underwent elective pre-operative veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and subsequent repair of the TEF/EA. We discuss the management, anesthesia risks, and role of periprocedural ECMO in pediatric patients who are high anesthetic risk.PMID:37183629 | DOI:10.1177/02676591231176241
