چکیده
An innovative use of a fenestrated silicone drainage tube as an endobronchial stent is reported. The patient had respiratory obstruction due to a carinal tumour and laser photoresection had failed to restore airway patency.

Double Y-stent placement for tracheobronchial stenosis.
The silicone stent has been widely used to re-establish airway patency for patients with airway stenosis. The ideal shape of the stent should be well adapted to the tracheobronchial anatomic structures, and its optimal length should cover the entire inner wall of the stenotic airway. Although the silicone Y-stent was developed as a dedicated prosthesis for main carinal stenosis, we often encoun...
متن کاملSilicone Tracheobronchial Stent: A Rare Cause for Bronchoesophageal Fistula and Distortion of Airway Anatomy
Silicone tracheobronchial stents are being increasingly used in a large number of patients for the treatment of tracheal stenosis. One very rare complication due to tracheobronchial stenting is bronchoesophageal fistula (BEF), which has been associated with the use of metallic stents. We report intraoperative management of a patient undergoing repair of a BEF, following previous insertion of a ...

Introduction Tracheobronchial stenoses or fistulas caused by benign or malignant diseases are life-threatening and present as respiratory distress symptoms.Airway stent insertion is an effective and widely used method to manage this condition. When the stenoses or the fistulas exist in the lower trachea,main carina, and main-stem bronchi, the insertion of one hinged stent or angled stent, or tw...
متن کاملUse of silicone stents for the management of post-tuberculosis tracheobronchial stenosis.
The role of bronchoscopic management in post-tuberculosis tracheobronchial stenosis is not well defined. To investigate the role of bronchoscopic intervention, including silicone stenting, in the management of post-tuberculosis tracheobronchial stenosis, the current retrospective study was conducted at a tertiary referral hospital. Under rigid bronchoscopy, 80 patients underwent ballooning, neo...
متن کاملDouble Y-stenting for tracheobronchial stenosis.
The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the feasibility, efficacy and safety of the double Y-stenting technique, by which silicone Y-stents are placed on both the main carina and another peripheral carina, for patients with tracheobronchial stenosis. Under general anaesthesia, using rigid and flexible bronchoscopes, a Dumon™ Y-stent (Novatech, La Ciotat, France) was first placed on the...
