Intentional tracheoesophageal fistula cannulation for gastric decompression in type C esophageal atresia
We describe a nonsurgical technique for managing gastric distention in infants with type C esophageal atresia, involving intubating the trachea with an umbilical catheter and entering the stomach through the fistula as soon as a flexible bronchoscope found its wide‐open orifice. This technique might have a special role when gastric distention precedes other commonly used preventive measures.
