Do Congenital Heart Diseases or Chromosomal Anomalies Influence the Surgical Outcomes of Esophagocoloplasty in Esophageal Atresia Patients?

Abstract

Esophageal atresia (EA) is frequently associated with congenital heart disease (CHD) and chromosomal anomalies, mainly Down syndrome (DS). While these conditions affect outcomes following primary repair, their specific impact on esophageal substitution procedure remains poorly defined. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of CHD and chromosomal anomalies on surgical outcomes following esophagocoloplasty for failed repair of EA patients.
