Koichiro Higashi, Kiyoshi Togawa, Akiyoshi Konno, Shuichi Inoue

Abstract

Thirteen infants from Department of Pediatrics and Pediatric Surgery underwent ventilation bronchoscopy. Four infants had congenital abnormalities such as tracheal stenosis and tracheomalacia. It seems that there are increasing opportunities to perform bronchoscopy of infants with congenital defects of trachea as neonatal medicine progresses.
