Classification of congenital tracheoesophageal fistulas and esophageal atresia

- esophageal atresia with distal TEF (87%)
- isolated esophageal atresia without TEF (8%)
- isolated TEF (4%)
- esophageal atresia with proximal TEF (1%)
- esophageal atresia with proximal and distal TEF (1%)

- VATER association (VACTERL association)
- duodenal atresia
- cardiovascular malformations

- genitourinary malformations

- gastrointestinal malformations
