Transanastomotic Tube for Proximal Esophageal Atresia With Distal Tracheoesophageal Fistula Repair

I'm Interested

Trial ID: NCT03730454

Purpose

This trial will compare the effectiveness of two common surgical practices for Type C esophageal atresia repair: esophageal atresia (EA) with distal tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF). Infants with EA/TEF requiring surgical intervention will be recruited. Subjects will be randomized to either repair with or without transanstomotic tube (TT) during esophageal anastomosis creation. Primary outcome is symptomatic anastomotic stricture development requiring dilation within 12 months.

Official Title

A Multi-Center Randomized Trial of Transanastomotic Tube for Proximal Esophageal Atresia With Distal Tracheoesophageal Fistula Repair

Eligibility


Inclusion Criteria:

   - Infants diagnosed with type C esophageal atresia: proximal esophageal atresia and
   distal tracheoesophageal fistula

   - Minimum follow up of 1 year (12 months)

Exclusion Criteria:

   - Other types of esophageal atresia without esophageal anastomosis creation

   - Major anomaly that influences likelihood of developing primary outcome or affects
   surgical treatment considerations

Intervention(s):

device: Transanastomotic Tube (5FR)

other: No Transanastomotic Tube
