Left mainstem bronchopexy for severe bronchomalacia.

Abstract
Severe bronchomalacia occurred in a 14-month-old boy, as a result of compression of the left mainstem bronchus by a bronchogenic cyst. After resection of the cyst, the bronchomalacia was corrected by suspension of the posterolateral bronchial wall to the ligamentum arteriosum. This method of bronchopexy may be of value for severe left mainstem bronchomalacia.
