Objectives
Pulmonary artery sling is frequently associated with tracheal and/or bronchial stenosis. A number of patients receive only re‐implantation or relocation of the left pulmonary artery (LPA) while other patients may require tracheoplasty for stenosis of the airway.

Results
Among the 15 patients, one received only conservative treatment, 14 (93%) patients received LPA re‐implantation, and eight (53%) received tracheoplasty. For the eight patients that received LPA reimplantation and tracheoplasty, five received slide …
