Fig 1 This figure illustrates the four anatomic variants (types) of the tracheobronchial anatomy and the subdivision into congenital tracheobronchial stenosis (CTBS) or congenital tracheal stenosis (CTS) according to the involvement of the bronchus by the stenosis or not. The stenotic segment is pictured in red. The frequencies of each subgroup are indicated in parentheses. (RULB = right upper lobe bronchus.)
