In the field of congenital heart disease, there is a special type of congenital vascular ring-like disease that has been troubling many cardiac surgeons, and that is the pulmonary artery sling. In addition to the symptoms of abnormal alignment of the right pulmonary artery and compression of the airway, pulmonary artery sling has severe congenital stenosis of the trachea because of the concomitant congenital annular constriction-like changes of the tracheal rings, and even if the pulmonary artery malformation can be detected early and corrected in time, it takes about 1-2 years for the symptoms of airway stenosis to be relieved. In some children who fail to be diagnosed early, severe long-segment tracheal stenosis often cannot be corrected leading to eventual death. Therefore, tracheoplasty is the only way for children with severe tracheal stenosis to survive. The current clinical procedure for the correction of long tracheal stenosis is called Slide, or sliding tracheoplasty, which requires not only extremely precise surgical skills, but also higher requirements for extracorporeal circulation, anesthesia, and postoperative monitoring. The main reason for the poor treatment result is the formation of granulation in the endotracheal wall after surgery, which causes severe obstruction and respiratory failure again. On January 8, 2015, our center successfully performed pulmonary artery sling correction and tracheoplasty for a child with severe tracheal stenosis combined with pulmonary artery sling, and now the child has been cured. At present, the child has been discharged from the hospital, and the symptoms of respiratory distress have completely disappeared, and is currently undergoing postoperative rehabilitation and follow-up. Looking back at all the difficulties and efforts made during the treatment process, and looking at the happy and smiling face of the baby now, we also feel very relieved. Now, let’s see how this bridge to life is being rebuilt. By the time he arrived at our center, he was already in severe respiratory distress and had to be intubated and kept alive by ventilator-assisted ventilation. The tracheal stenosis was severe and nearly interrupted, and the child showed significant signs of respiratory failure even with ventilator-assisted ventilation, so we performed an emergency tracheoplasty with a concurrent corrective pulmonary artery sling. We performed a Slide tracheoplasty, which significantly reduced the narrowing. After careful post-operative monitoring and treatment, the baby’s symptoms recovered very well and he is now discharged from the hospital for post-operative follow-up. We believe that with the gradual development of similar procedures and the accumulation of experience, we will be able to fully master the wonders of tracheoplasty and reliably build a bridge to life, so that more babies can embrace a healthy life again.
