Successful Treatment of Life-threatening Tracheal Stenosis Caused by Malignancy with a Self-expanding Hybrid Stent
نویسندگان
چکیده
Tracheal stenosis caused by malignancy is a life-threatening complication. We performed stent therapy in two patients using the AERO™ stent, launched in late 2016 in Japan. One patient presented with stenosis of the trachea due to adenoid cystic carcinoma and the other with stenosis of the trachea due to esophageal cancer. Both patients showed improved symptoms, and no complications were identified. This is the first report of a favorable outcome with the use of this hybrid stent in Japan, and the findings suggest that insertion of the AERO hybrid stent is an effective way to improve patients' quality of life.

متن کاملThe Role of Tracheal Stenting As an Alternative Treatment in Cicatricial and Non-Operable Tracheal Stenosis
Introduction: Tracheal stenosis is normally caused by trauma, infection, benign and malignant tumors, prolonged intubation or tracheostomy. The best treatment for tracheal stenosis is resection and anastomosis of trachea. Yet the major surgical complication of tracheal surgery is postoperative stenosis. The goal of this paper is to study the result of tracheal stenting as a replacement therap...

متن کاملFlexible bronchoscopic management of benign tracheal stenosis: long term follow-up of 115 patients
BACKGROUND Management of benign tracheal stenosis (BTS) varies with the type and extent of the disease and influenced by the patient's age and general health status, hence we sought to investigate the long-term outcome of patients with BTS that underwent minimally invasive bronchoscopic treatment. METHODS Patients with symptomatic BTS were treated with flexible bronchoscopy therapeutic modali...
