Management of Postintubation Tracheal Stenosis with Stent Implantation

Management of post-intubation tracheal stenoses using the endoscopic approach

“…These therapeutic options include laser resection, bronchoscopic dilation and tracheal stenting. Multiple studies have reported variable success rates of these endoscopic treatments ranging from 32 [9] to 66 percent [10], regardless of the type of stenosis or endotracheal intervention [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25].…”

Post tracheostomy and post intubation tracheal stenosis: Report of 31 cases and review of the literature

“…Interventional bronchoscopy procedures can serve as a bridge to surgical treatment but most importantly, can constitute definitive therapy for many patients, including these that are surgical candidates[ 24 ]. Previous studies have reported variable success rates of interventional bronchoscopy procedures, ranging from 32[ 26 ] to 66%[ 27 ].…”

Cinco años de experiencia en el tratamiento endoscópico de las estenosis de la vía aérea principal

“…Es recomendable valorar la retirada de la prótesis en un tiempo que oscila entre los 12 y 18 meses, al considerar que la lesión inflamatoria que dio lugar a la estenosis se ha estabilizado 12 , aunque es preciso mantener una actitud expectante ante la posibilidad de recurrencia de la estenosis o aparición de malacia [7][8][9][10][11][12][13] . Una de las si- tuaciones más complejas son las estenosis desarrolladas en la sutura bronquial de los pacientes con trasplante de pulmón.…”
