Pericardial flap aortopexy an easy and safe technique in the treatment of tracheomalacia. Journal of cardiovascular surgery. 43(2):295-297.0021-9509https://hdl.handle.net/11616/7569A 5-month-old boy who had been operated for esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula was presented with recurrent life-threatening apneic spells, expiratory stridor and difficulty in feeding. 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/embargoedAccessArticle432295297
