An Airway Wallstent for the treatment of tracheobronchial malignancies.
BACKGROUND The palliative effect of a new Airway Wallstent with a polyurethane covering was tested in patients with inoperable malignant lesions of the central airways. METHODS Thirty six stents were inserted in 27 patients with obstruction (n = 24) or fistulae (n = 3), 15 of whom later received radiotherapy. The degree of symptom relief was assessed 1, 30, and 90 days after stent insertion. ...

MATERIALS AND METHODS Between March 2004 and April 2010, we attempted intracranial, stent-assisted angioplasty in 77 patients with 85 lesions (anterior circulation 73 cases, post...
متن کاملAirway fire injury during rigid bronchoscopy in a patient with a silicon stent -A case report-
Therapeutic bronchoscopy is widely employed as an effective first-line treatment for patients with central airway obstructions. Airway fires during rigid bronchoscopy are rare, but can have potentially devastating consequences. Pulmonologist and anesthesiologist undertaking this type of procedure should be aware of this serious problem and be familiar with measures to avoid this possibly fatal ...
متن کاملAnaesthesia for Tracheobronchial Stent Insertion Using an Laryngeal Mask Airway and High-Frequency Jet Ventilation
An approach which promotes a rapid return to spontaneous respiration after tracheobronchial stent (TBS) insertion is considered the optimal one and is a belief shared by anaesthetists, respiratory physicians, and surgeons alike (Calvey and William (2008)). The value of the laryngeal mask airway (LMA), followed by use of the Monsoon 111 Acutronic jet ventilator pressure limiting system of ventil...

Complex airway diseases represent a therapeutic challenge and require multidisciplinary input. Surgery remains the definitive modality. Minimally invasive endobronchial techniques have resulted in symptom control and long-term improvements. The rigid bronchoscope remains the method of choice for the treatment of both benign and malignant central airway obstruction. However, it has limited use i...
