The age stated is the age when computed tomography was performed.

¹The inter-pouch distance was measured before division of the fistula. EI: Esophageal inter-pouch; TF: Tracheoesophageal fistula; IN: Invisible (fistulae not shown); MPVR: Multiple planar volume reconstruction; TL-VR: Transparency lung volume rendering.
