We report the case of a boy with congenital dynamic stenosis of the right main bronchus. The operation was postponed to a later date, when the patient was in a better clinical position to tolerate surgery. A tracheobronchial sleeve resection under dual-lumen venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation was performed.
