Abstract
An 8-month-old infant presented with an extesive congenital tracheal stenosis with an aberrant left pulmonary artery. The patient was treated successfully by relocation of the left pulmonary artery and tracheal reconstruction with slide tracheoplasty. This patient is the first survivor cited in the literature after concomitant repair using slide tracheoplasty.
