Abstract:
Bridging bronchus is a rare group of congenital airway malformations. In most cases, bridging bronchus is often combined with tracheal stenosis and other cardiovascular malformations, which often presents a wide spectrum of symptoms and prone to develop cardiopulmonary dysfunction, and therefore poses a challenge to the diagnosis and the choice of appropriate surgical management. This review provides a snapshot of the classification, diagnosis and surgical management of bridging bronchus.
