Type C: The most common form of TEF, type C is when the upper portion of your esophagus ends in a blind pouch, and the lower portion is connected to your trachea by a tracheoesophageal fistula. About 85% of babies born with TEF have this type.

There are four types of esophageal atresia (EA): Type A. The upper and lower segments of the esophagus end in pouches, like dead-end streets that don't connect. Tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) is not present. Type B. The lower segment ends in a blind pouch. TEF is present on the upper segment. This type is very rare. Type C.

Type C: Esophageal atresia with a fistula on the lower part of the esophagus. By far the most common type of EA/TEF. Type D: Esophageal atresia with a fistula on both the upper and lower part of the esophagus.

EA with Distal TEF (Gross type C, Vogt type 3B). EA, with a distal TEF, or a TEF connecting between the lower pouch of the esophagus and the trachea. This is by far the commonest type of EA, with about 89% of EA patients having this type. With this type of EA, gastric contents and acid can travel directly into the lungs, before surgical ...

2018年3月12日 · Esophageal atresia (EA) is a rare birth defect in which the esophagus (the tube that connects the throat with the stomach) does not develop normally. In infants with EA, the esophagus is usually separated into two parts, an upper and lower segment.

2019年4月18日 · Oesophageal atresia (EA) is a congenital abnormality of the oesophagus that is caused by incomplete embryonic compartmentalization of the foregut. EA commonly occurs with a...

2023年7月25日 · Type C esophageal atresia is the most prevalent at 84% and involves a proximal EA with distal tracheoesophageal fistula. Type D is esophageal atresia with both a proximal and distal TEF. It is rare at 3%.

According to our retrospective data analysis, anatomical type C of EA is the most frequently encountered. Graph in (C) also illustrates nearly equal sex distribution per anatomical type with females found in 50% in type A, 62.5% in type B, and 48% in type C.

Type C (86.5%): Esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula, in which the upper segment of the esophagus ends in a blind pouch (EA) and the lower segment of the esophagus is attached to the trachea (TEF).

2024年5月5日 · The fundamental goal of EA repair remains the restoration of esophageal continuity, allowing for nutritional autonomy via oral intake. Thoracoscopic repair of EA represents one of the most challenging advanced pediatric endoscopic procedures.
