Transanastomotic Tube Use and Anastomotic Stricture: A Multicenter Prospective Randomized Trial in Neonates Undergoing Repair of Type C Esophageal Atresia With Distal Tracheoesophageal Fistula.

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…

In brief

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.
