Pericardial flap aortopexy an easy and safe technique in the treatment of tracheomalacia.

Diagnosis of tracheomalacia was confirmed by bronchoscopy and pericardial flap aortopexy was performed. Pericardial flap aortopexy is a relatively simple procedure with minimal risk to the aorta. Minimal dissection is required and there are no sutures placed in the aortic wall, thus avoiding the risk of tears.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArticle43200
