Bridging the bronchus and tracheal stenosis can be associated with congenital heart defects like atrial septal defects, ventricular septal defects, tetralogy of Fallot, and aortic coarctation. This video features a case of bridging the bronchus and severe tracheal stenosis associated with left pulmonary artery sling, ventricular septal defect, and aortic coarctation. This case was successfully repaired in a low-birth-weight neonate.
