This letter provides the unfortunate follow-up to the case presented in our paper "Pulmonary Artery Sling: A New Diagnostic Tool and Clinical Review."1

Thirteen months following pulmonary artery reimplantation the infant was seen again with increasing stridor and respiratory distress. The chest radiograph showed narrowing of the intrathoracic portion of the trachea and the main bronchi. The position of the carina was inferior to that normally seen. The child underwent bronchoscopy which demonstrated marked tracheal stenosis secondary to complete tracheal rings.
