“…Six of 20 patients required one treatment to relieve SGS, with a median 3.7 months between treatments, and no patients required additional surgical intervention. A more recent study supports these data with the successful relief of tracheal stenosis by bronchoscopic dilation and glucocorticoid injection in 3 patients [33]. These findings suggest that in isolated SGS secondary to WG, TBNI of glucocorticoids may spare systemic immunosuppression.…”

Background and Objective: Transbronchial needle catheters are commonly used during flexible and rigid bronchoscopy for needle aspiration. The use of these catheters can be expanded by employing the technique of transbronchial needle injection. Methods and Results: By injecting lesions in the airways, peribronchial structures, mediastinum, or lung parenchyma, transbronchial needle injection has been applied to the treatment of lung cancer, inflammatory disorders of the airways, recurrent respiratory papillomatosis, as well as bronchopleural fistulas. Diagnostic applications have included the localization of peripheral lung nodules as well as sentinel lymph nodes. Conclusions: Our review defines this bronchoscopic technique and summarizes its various reported applications.

“…8,16,18,[21][22][23][24][25][26][27] In the study by Gluth et al, 5 of the 27 patients with WG and subglottic stenosis, 11 (40.7%) required tracheostomy and 13 (48.1%) required multiple surgical procedures. The endoscopic diagnosis of laryngeal tracheobronchial stenoses allows, in some cases, minimally invasive treatment as an alternative for the surgical treatment.…”

“…Asimismo, las recidivas locales son frecuentes tras la reducció n o supresió n de los fá rmacos inmunosupresores, hecho que obliga a aumentar de nuevo la dosis de dichos fá rmacos, aumentando así mismo su toxicidad y el riesgo de fibrosis residual local secundaria 9,16,[32][33][34] . Por todas estas razones, el uso exclusivo de tratamiento farmacoló gico es cuestionable y los procedimientos intervencionistas, solos o en combinació n con la terapia sisté mica, parecen má s adecuados 9,10,16,[32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41] .…”

“…No obstante, se ha descrito cirugía reconstructiva sin complicaciones en enfermos con GW en remisió n bajo tratamiento inmunosupresor 39 . Se han utilizado diversas té cnicas quirú rgicas con tasas de decanulació n de alrededor del 50%, ya que las restenosis son frecuentes 10,16,32,33,38,39 . Estas té cnicas pueden ser de utilidad cuando los procedimientos endoscó picos fracasan 10,17 .…”
