| Abstract: | In 3 patients, recurrent respiratory symptoms after neonatal repair of congenital tracheoesophageal fistula (Gross type C in 2, D in 1) were associated with a large tracheal remnant of the fistula termed diverticulum. Symptoms resolved after resection of the diverticulum in 1 child with airway obstruction and 1 adult with recurrent tracheoesophageal fistula. |
