The median age was 3 months (range 0.3\u201335 months) and the median weight was 4.7 kg (range 2.5\u201313 kg) at the time of surgical intervention. Stridor was the most common presenting symptom in 17 patients (65% of patients). Twenty-one patients (81%) had concurrent cardiac anomalies, with pulmonary arterial sling being the most common, present in nine patients (34%). Extracorporeal life support was utilised in seven patients (27%) pre-operatively. Laryngeal release was required in 16 patients. In 7 patients an end-to-end anastomosis was performed, in 18 patients slide tracheoplasty, and 1 patient had a double slide tracheoplasty. The median cardiopulmonary bypass time was 106 minutes (range 25\u2013255 minutes). The median cross-clamp time was 30 minutes (range 5\u201367 minutes). The median post-operative duration of ventilation was 5 days (range 0.5\u201316 days). The median ICU length of stay was 12.5 days (range 2\u201360 days). There were three hospital mortalities with 88% survival. One patient only required reintervention with balloon dilation. Twenty-two patients (85%) remained symptom-free on median follow-up at 7.6 years (range 0.2\u201317 years). Two patients since 2017 had 3D printed tracheas produced from CT imaging to assist surgical planning.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1047951119002725_as4\"
