The safety and effectiveness of the treatment of refractory post-intubation subglottic stenosis using short bronchial Dumon stent: a pilot study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Post-intubation subglottic stenosis (PI-SGS) is a fatal disease which could result in partial or complete narrowing of the airway. Although airway stenting is commonly used as an alternative treatment for PI-SGS patients unsuitable for surgery, complications including stent migration and excessive granulation tissue formation are frequently encountered. Additionally, tracheotomy is necessary in patients undergoing T-tube placement. Therefore, it is necessary to further enhance the effectiveness of airway stenting in refractory PI-SGS. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of utilizing short bronchial Dumon (BD) stents in managing refractory PI-SGS.

Methods

PI-SGS patients who were not suitable for surgery and in whom previous interventio
