Abstract
Tracheal varices (TV) are uncommon but can be an important source of massive or recurrent haemoptysis. We present a case of TV in a 32-year-old patient with a history of Glenn-Fontan surgery, for congenital tricuspid atresia, and portal hypertension owing to cardiac cirrhosis. We discuss TV presenting as tracheal nodules in the presence of extensive mediastinal collateral circulation.Entities:
