Abstract

Tetralogy of Fallot with absent pulmonary valve syndrome is commonly associated with trachea-bronchial anomalies, possibly due to airway compression caused by massively dilated pulmonary arteries secondary to severe pulmonary regurgitation. This airway obstruction may persist post-operatively also. We report a case of an infant who required a series of management strategies including bronchial stenting to manage his obstructive symptoms.
