摘要

Importance: Pediatric imaging carries the risk of radiation exposure. Children frequently undergo computed tomography with angiography (CTA) for findings on bronchoscopy with limited knowledge regarding the necessity of such imaging. Objective : To report our experience with all pediatric patients at our institution over an 8-year period with airway symptoms warranting bronchoscopy followed by CTA for potential vascular anomaly. Goals were to report the percentage of positive findings seen on CTA leading to surgery; discuss relative radiation exposure risk and sedation risk for additional radiologic studies; and propose a functional diagnostic algorithm. Design, Setting, and Participants: Retrospective chart review of 42 children aged 2months to 11 years with tracheomalacia who underwentCTAbetween 2004 and 2012 in our tertiary aerodigestive center. Interventions: Bronchoscopy and CTA. Main Outcomes and Measures: Presence of vascular anomaly and need for thoracic surgery. Results: Of these 42 children, 21 (50%) had a vascular anomaly identified on CTA. Of these 21, 17 (81%) had innominate artery compression; 1 (5%) had double aortic arch; 1 (5%) had right aortic arch; 3 (14%) had bronchial compression by pulmonary artery; and 1 (5%) had dextrocardia with duplicated vena cava. Six (29%) of these 21 had clinical symptoms and CTA findings requiring thoracic surgery. The most common symptoms in children requiring thoracic surgery were cough, cyanosis, and stridor. Conclusions and Relevance: Deciding when to obtain imaging for bronchoscopic findings suggestive of vascular compression remains challenging. A diagnostic algorithm is proposed as a means to provide the best clinical care while weighing risks of additional radiation exposure vs sedation and exposure to general anesthesia.
