Article Abstract:

Children in whom cardiac surgery is performed frequently need mechanical ventilation in the immediate postoperative period. Although this life-supporting modality is critically important in determining the outcome of the procedure, it can lead to debilitating laryngotracheal injury. The most common cause of acquired laryngeal stenosis is endotracheal tube injury, which accounts for approximately 95% of all cases of laryngeal stenosis.
