Progress in the diagnosis and treatment of congenital heart disease with airway anomalies / 国际儿科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Congenital heart disease and airway anomalies are correlated,and some special cardiovascular anomalies accompanying with airway anomalies like vascular tings,have a high morbidity.Congenital heart disease with airway anomalies is usually ignored in clinic.It should be considered that congenital heart disease with airway anomalies exists in children with the symptoms,such as repeated stridor,respiratory failure,difficult intubation or failure of postoperative ventilator weaning.Multidetector helical CT and bronchoscopy are important for making early diagnosis and guiding management for congenital heart disease with airway anomalies.The choice of therapeutic approaches depends on the type of airway anomalies,location and degree of the lesion.
