Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The pathophysiologic mechanism is a complex combination of lung hypoplasia, including de-creased alveolar count and decreased pulmonary vasculature, pulmonary hypertension, and unu-sual anatomy of the inferior vena cava.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The most common of these malformations is esophageal atresia with a distal fistula, which com-prises 85 to 90 of all tracheoesophageal fistulas.
