Two infants with congenital heart disease developed life-threatening airway obstruction due to progressive dilatation of the aorta. Both underwent posterior aortic plication with extracorporeal bypass (9 and 4 months of age). After surgery, the arterial diameter was adequately reduced with a smooth aortic route leading to a wide airway space. Both patients were weaned from the ventilator shortly after surgery and are currently asymptomatic.
