Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Acquired bronchial stenosis has been associated with sleeve resection, tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, and prolonged intubation. Various modalities of therapy for the relief of such stenoses include surgery, cryotherapy, and laser photoresection. Several recent reports have described the use of angioplasty balloon catheters for dilatation of stenotic areas. In two patients with endobronchial stenosis, we found that balloon dilatation, using either angioplasty or valvuloplasty catheters, in combination with laser photoresection can be safely and effectively performed with alleviation of pulmonary symptoms.
