Long-term outcomes after operative versus conservative management of congenital thoracic malformations: a propensity-matched cohort study

Management of asymptomatic congenital thoracic malformations (CTMs) remains controversial. Early resection may prevent infection or malignancy and promote compensatory lung growth, but its long-term impact is unclear. This study compared long-term cardiorespiratory and psychosocial outcomes after op...

Description
Summary:Management of asymptomatic congenital thoracic malformations (CTMs) remains controversial. Early resection may prevent infection or malignancy and promote compensatory lung growth, but its long-term impact is unclear. This study compared long-term cardiorespiratory and psychosocial outcomes after operative versus conservative management of CTMs and evaluated open versus thoracoscopic surgery.
