Abstract:

Extended End-to-End (EEE) repair of aortic coarctation is the preferred technique in the presence of
concomitant arch hypoplasia. An airway complication after coarctation repair is not common. We
are presenting a 3-month-old infant who presented with stridor secondary to tracheal compression
after repair of his coarctation.

Keywords:
