94% of esophageal atresia patients who underwent tracheobronchopexy were able to avoid a tracheostomy
Tracheobronchopexy significantly reduced life-threatening breathing events in esophageal atresia patients
Tracheobronchopexy significantly reduced the need for positive pressure ventilation in esophageal atresia patients
