Abstract :
Double aortic arch often presents with tracheoesophageal compression. Management requires division of the vascular ring and, if tracheomalacia is present, some form of tracheopexy. We report here the use of a dental bar as an external splint for tracheopexy in a neonate. Follow-up to 18 months shows good tracheal growth and no erosion.
