Successful Stenting for Bronchial Stenosis Resulting from Blunt Airway Trauma.

Successful Stenting for Bronchial Stenosis Resulting from Blunt Airway Trauma. Intern Med. 2018 Jul 06;: Authors: Roh JY, Kim I, Eom JS, Lee G, Ahn HY, Lee MK Abstract Blunt airway trauma is rare but life threatening. Injuries to other vital organs accompany this type of injury in most cases; therefore, conservative treatment may be considered first. In cases of delayed fibrotic airway stenosis after conservative treatment, surgical treatment or bronchoscopic intervention are therapeutic options. We herein report a case of delayed airway stenosis after a blunt traumatic airway injury that was successfully managed by silicone stenting. PMID: 29984759 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
