Abstract

Esophageal atresia (EA) with or without tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) represents a congenital developmental anomaly. It is the most common congenital malformation of the esophagus characterized by an esophageal discontinuity (the upper esophagus terminates in a blind-ending pouch) and a possible tracheoesophageal connection [1–3].
