Outcomes following elective resection of congenital pulmonary airway malformations are equivalent after 3 months of age and a weight of 5 kg

摘要

Purpose: Resection of congenital pulmonary airway malformations (CPAMs) is often performed to reduce the risk of recurrent infection and malignant transformation. However, there is substantial variation in the timing of resection. This study was performed to determine the association of age and weight on outcomes following elective resection of CPAMs.
