Single-center retrospective study of 21 pediatric patients with symptomatic tracheobronchomalacia treated with thoracoscopic aortopexy from 2009-2018. Symptom resolution occurred in 81% of patients, though 14% required subsequent tracheostomy, with bronchial involvement identified as a potential risk factor.
