We report the case of an eight-month-old boy with tracheomalacia secondary to impingement by the right pulmonary artery, together with congenital agenesis of the left lung and the left kidney. Aortopexy and right pulmonary artery-pexy were successful in improving lung function by more than 100%, and the patient remained free of complications in the long term.
