A rare cause of wheezing in a child with pulmonary atresia.

A rare cause of wheezing in a child with pulmonary atresia. Ann Card Anaesth. 2019 Oct-Dec;22(4):449-451 Authors: Maddali MM, Kandachar PS, Arora NR, Lacour-Gayet F Abstract The determination of the exact cause for symptomatic airway obstruction in pediatric patients not responding to medication can be a clinical dilemma. Very rarely external vascular compressions can produce airway obstruction symptoms unresponsive to usual bronchodilator medications. The successful management of a child with pulmonary atresia and an innominate artery compression syndrome with respiratory compromise due to tracheal compression is described.
