Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Tracheal stenosis after intubation is a fairly common complication, and treatment of such cases can be difficult. A 52-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of severe dyspnea. Seven years previously, she had suffered tracheal stenosis after tracheal intubation and had undergone tracheal resection and placement of a self-expandable metal stent. In this case, tracheal restenosis had occurred and we successfully treated the patient by insertion of a silicone T-tube after tracheotomy. Use of a T-tube is safe and effective for relief of tracheal restenosis after self-expandable metal stent placement. |
