Congenital Esophageal Atresia Associated with a Tracheobronchial Remnant. Korean J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg. 2019 Jun;52(3):170-173 Authors: Wu Y, Wu C Abstract A rare case of esophageal atresia/tracheo-esophageal fistula (EA-TEF) with an associated tracheobronchial remnant (TBR) is reported and discussed herein. A 13-month-old patient was seen with a complaint of vomiting of solid food 1 year after EA-TEF repair. An esophagogram showed a tapered narrowing in the lower segment of the esophagus. A re-operation was carried out and a pathologic examination of the resected stenotic segment revealed the presence of a TBR. PMID: 31236378 [PubMed]
