摘　　要：To the Editor:Esophageal atresia(EA)is the most common congenital abnormality of the esophagus.In 70%to 90%of those born with EA,a tracheoesophageal fistula(TEF)co-occurs.Since Vogt[1]recognized and classified the types of anomalies in 1929,many other classification systems have been proposed,including the Ladd,Gross,Swenson,and Kluth classification systems.[2]However,the Gross classification of anatomical patterns of EA/TEF proposed in 1953 is one of the most widely accepted and used classification systems[3]and has been cited in Pediatric Surgery.[4]While surgical and imaging techniques have evolved considerably over recent decades,434 consecutive cases of EA/TEF in China were reviewed.Through closely examining the imaging studies and the pathoanatomical configurations of these patients,we identified certain"defects"and details in the illustrations that need modification.
