Iatrogenic Tracheal Stenosis After Yasui Operation in a Neonate With Aortic Atresia and Type B Aortic Interruption

RESPIRATORY COMPLICATIONS due to external compression of the airways can occur after procedures that involve repair of an interrupted aortic arch on newborns.1 One such procedure that includes reconstruction of an interrupted aortic arch is the Yasui operation that originally was described for the primary repair of type A and B aortic interruption with severe aortic stenosis in neonates with adequate-sized ventricles.2 This also has been termed the “Damus-Rastelli” technique3 or the “Norwood Rastelli” operation.
