In brief

This multicenter randomized controlled trial investigated whether transanastomotic tube placement during type C esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula repair affects anastomotic stricture rates in neonates. The study addresses conflicting retrospective evidence suggesting TT use may increase stricture risk.

Daniel Ostlie

Anastomotic stricture (AS) is the most common complication following repair of type C esophageal atresia with distal tracheoesophageal fistula (EA/TEF). Retrospective studies suggest transanastomotic tube (TT) use may increase AS risk, but are limited by design. We conducted a multicenter randomized trial to evaluate the impact of TT placement on AS. Infants undergoing type C EA/TEF repair at 10 c…
