Esophageal Atresia clinical trials at UCSF

1 research study open to eligible people

Esophageal atresia happens when the esophagus is not properly connected. UCSF is testing two different surgical approaches to fix this issue. These studies aim to determine the most effective surgery for patients.

Showing trials for

  • Transanastomotic Tube for Proximal Esophageal Atresia With Distal Tracheoesophageal Fistula Repair

    open to eligible people ages up to 6 months

    This trial will compare the effectiveness of two common surgical practices for Type C esophageal atresia repair: esophageal atresia (EA) with distal tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF). Infants with EA/TEF requiring surgical intervention will be recruited. Subjects will be randomized to either repair with or without transanstomotic tube (TT) during esophageal anastomosis creation. Primary outcome is symptomatic anastomotic stricture development requiring dilation within 12 months.
