Bronchial stenosis secondary to epidermolysis bullosa successfully treated with bronchoscopic balloon dilatation
Epidermolysis bullosa rarely affects lower airways. We present a case of lower airway involvement and stenosis successfully managed with flexible bronchoscopy and balloon dilation.
متن کاملBronchoscopic management of benign bronchial stenosis by electrocautery and balloon dilatation.
Benign bronchial stenosis is managed by surgical or bronchoscopic methods. Although surgical approach is definitive, it is technically demanding and is costlier than bronchoscopic treatment. Here, we report the case of a 27-year-old female patient with symptomatic benign bronchial stenosis of the left main bronchus. The stenosis was dilated successfully through a fibreoptic bronchoscope by elec...
متن کاملBronchoscopic balloon dilatation for tuberculosis-associated tracheal stenosis: a two case report and a literature review
BACKGROUND Bronchoscopic balloon dilatation (BBD) is a common strategy in the treatment of bronchostenosis. However, the longer dilating time in each inflation cycle (approximately 3-5 min) without mechanical ventilation is not possible for the treatment of tracheal stenosis. CASE PRESENTATION In this study, we reported our experience of BBD with shorter dilating time (10 s or 1 min) and inte...
متن کاملManagement of Benign Tracheal Stenosis by Small-diameter Tube-assisted Bronchoscopic Balloon Dilatation
BACKGROUND A limitation of bronchoscopic balloon dilatation (BBD) is that airflow must be completely blocked for as long as possible during the operation. However, the patient often cannot hold his or her breath for a long period affecting the efficacy of the procedure. In this study, we used an extra-small-diameter tube to provide assisted ventilation to patients undergoing BBD and assessed th...
متن کاملBronchoscopic balloon dilatation in the combined management of postintubation stenosis of the trachea in adults.
Bronchoscopic balloon dilatation (BBD) using angioplasty balloon catheters has been employed successfully in the treatment of tracheobronchial stenoses in children and has worked with variable success in adults with bronchial stenosis. In adults with tracheal stenosis, BBD only has been reported anecdotally. In this study, experience with BBD using a valvuloplasty balloon catheter in the combin...
