Pediatric Esophageal Atresia | Life-Threatening and Urgent Need Approximately 1 in 2,500 infants in the US is born with esophageal atresia Biostage currently has orphan designation Infant is born with a gap between the upper and lower esophagus in EA With long-gap esophageal atresia, Esophageal atresia requires immediate surgical intervention on average, infants spend 120 days in the ICU with a cost In some cases, the gap is too lengthy to bring the two ends together; of $576k per this condition is know as long-gap esophageal atresia (LGEA) patient With long-gap esophageal atresia there is no consensus on how to correct the defect 6
