Long-segment congenital tracheal stenosis is characterized by complete tracheal rings. Surgery is required during infancy to optimize outcomes, and the post-surgery complications include mucus plugging, airway trauma, dehiscence at the surgery site, and death. We report a 5-week-old patient who developed a tracheal-wall dehiscence after a slide tracheoplasty. To safeguard against further dehiscence and to protect her one functional lung, we used extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). After she was stabilized on veno-arterial ECMO we extubated and continued ECMO for 5 days. On postoperative day 14 we removed the ECMO and transitioned her to high-frequency oscillatory ventilation, and performed slow lung-recruitment maneuvers every 2 hours. This strategy of ECMO with extubation, then high-frequency oscillatory ventilation is a useful rescue therapy in patients with postoperative tracheal dehiscence.
