Core Tip
Core Tip: Congenital esophageal atresia (CEA) is a life-threatening malformation, and early surgical anastomosis is the only treatment. Patients with CEA often have other malformations; the most common of which are cardiovascular abnormalities, such as ventricular septal defect and tetralogy of Fallot. We report a low-birth-weight infant with CEA and severe patent ductus arteriosus. Low birth weight and serious cardiac problems are key factors affecting prognosis. We performed simultaneous esophageal anastomosis and arterial catheter ligation.
