Tracheomalacia

Tracheomalacia care at Mayo Clinic

Your Mayo Clinic care team

Tracheomalacia and tracheobronchomalacia require treatment designed specifically for each person by different specialists who work together as a team. Some treatment options available at Mayo Clinic are not available everywhere, especially certain minimally invasive surgical procedures.

Mayo Clinic uses a team approach, including board-certified physicians in pediatric pulmonology, pediatric surgery, and pediatric ear, nose and throat (ENT) surgery. The team also includes nurses as care coordinators, respiratory therapists and other professionals as needed. This comprehensive healthcare team delivers personalized, effective treatment in a family-friendly environment

Specialized pediatric care

As part of Mayo Clinic Children's, pediatric experts from a variety of specialties quickly come together as a team to thoroughly test and evaluate your child — no matter how complex the issues. They provide rapid results and the best treatment plan tailored to your child's needs.

• Highly skilled experts in pediatric pulmonology assess, diagnose and treat infants, children and teenagers who have lung diseases or other types of breathing issues.
• The Aerodigestive Clinic sees children with complex conditions of the upper airway, lungs and upper digestive tract, including trouble with sleep and feeding.
• Experts in pediatric surgery do minimally invasive surgery whenever possible. They use advanced technology and the latest pain management methods.

Tracheomalacia usually occurs in children, but it sometimes happens in adults. In the Division of Pulmonary Medicine, our pulmonary and critical care medicine experts work closely with other Mayo Clinic specialists and allied health professionals to provide exactly the care you need — effective, coordinated and comprehensive. People with serious or complex medical challenges related to the lungs and breathing find the answers they need from our specialists.
