The Use of T-tube Cholangiocatheter Stents in the Treatment of Pediatric Tracheomalacia
نویسندگان
چکیده
Tracheomalacia is a common disorder in neonate and infants, which can lead to life-threatening airway occlusion, because of external pressure or intrinsic defect of tracheobroncial cartilage. Aortopexy and Stents are effective in relieving tracheomalacia in the latter patients. In this case we are to show how t-tube cholangiocatheter is effective and easy available in sever tracheomalacia neonates with intrinsic defect. It can be easily replaced and causes no infection, erosion, or sever complication in 9 months period.

Tracheobronchial stenting is carried out to relieve airway obstruction caused by a variety of lesions such as tumors, strictures, tracheomalacia and bronchomalacia, which may not be suitable for resection and reconstruction. Historically, airway stenting was first attempted in the early 19th century, and since then, tracheostomy tubes and Montgomery tracheal T-tubes have been extensively used t...
متن کاملConcentric tracheal and subglottic stenosis. Management using the Nd-YAG laser for mucosal sparing followed by gentle dilatation.
Treatment of tracheal stenosis varies with the type and extent of the disease. Tracheostomy with stents, end-to-end anastomosis, or extensive reconstructive procedures often is required, especially when tracheomalacia is present. High recurrence rate is associated with relatively less invasive endotracheal treatments, such as bougie dilatation or total laser ablation. Mucosal sparing technique ...
