“…The balloon dilations are safe and efficient in the treatment of subglottic stenosis in children and reduce the need for open laryngeal surgery by 70% to 80%. Good indications include primary or secondary treatment of acquired stenosis of all grades, secondary treatment of congenital stenosis, and primary treatment of some selected congenital cases 5,6 . Mechanical dilatation of stenosis can be performed using rigid bronchoscopy and a series of metal bougies.…”

Background. Benign tracheobronchial stenosis of the proximal airways may result from a variety of conditions and can cause dyspnea, cough, wheeze or stridor. Methods and Results. In this report, we describe the case of a 9-year-old boy who was admitted to hospital with wheezing and progressive dyspnea lasting for six months. These abnormalities were diagnosed by multislice CT with 3-dimensional reconstruction of the trachea and by videobronchoscopy which demonstrated severe tracheal stenosis and an orifice of a tracheal diverticulum on the right side of the upper trachea. The stenosis was dilated with a balloon and vaporized with an Nd:YAG laser. Due to recurrent stenosis, the laser procedure had to be repeated several times in an approximately 4-6-month interval. Conclusion. Association between recurrent membranous tracheal stenosis and a tracheal diverticulum is a rare medical condition.

“…В лечении врожденных и приобретенных стенозов применялись различные методики, сводящиеся к проведению мно-гочасовых многоэтапных хирургических вмешательств. Баллонная пластика -это одна из передовых техноло-гий, позволяющих устранять непродолжительные сте- Эта методика уже завоевала свое место в лечении взрослого населения и делает первые шаги в педиатри-ческой практике [4,5] (рис. 7).…”

“…During BBD, chest pain, bronchospasm and atelectasis have been reported (Brown et al, 1987;Elkerbout et al, 1993;Hebra et al, 1991). Excessive balloon inflation may lacerate or rupture the airway, causing bleeding, pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, or mediastinitis.…”
