Pulmonary Function Outcomes in Children Undergoing Diaphragmatic Plication After Phrenic Nerve Palsy Secondary to Cardiac Surgery: A 10‐Year Case Series

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 10, October 2025.
This 10‐year retrospective case series evaluated mid‐term pulmonary outcomes in children who underwent diaphragmatic plication for phrenic nerve palsy following cardiac surgery. The results reveal a restrictive ventilatory pattern and consistent post‐exercise oxygen desaturation, despite preserved functional walking capacity.
