The safety of conservative management of asymptomatic congenital pulmonary airway malformations (CPAMs) in children: A systematic review

Key Points

• Conservative management is safe for asymptomatic congenital pulmonary airway malformations in children, minimizing surgical interventions.
• The review highlights a low complication rate associated with conservative approaches, with effective monitoring practices in place.
• Systematic analysis of existing literature reveals the significance of individualized care strategies in managing CPAMs without immediate surgery.
• These findings support ongoing non-invasive management of CPAMs, indicating a need for broader acceptance and application of conservative techniques.
