Abstract

We reported the case of a patient with obstruction of tracheal stent, deployed previously for anaplastic thyroid carcinoma. The extension of malignant stricture above and below the stent and close to the vocal folds made unfeasible the stent recanalization and/or its replacement with another longer. Thus, tracheostomy was the only option to assure ventilation. After partial air-way recanalization with rigid bronchoscope, tracheostomy cannula was inserted through the stenosis using percutaneous dilatation tracheostomy technique.

气管支架患者经皮扩张气管切开术

摘要

我们报告了一例气管支架阻塞的患者，该患者先前用于甲状腺未分化癌。支架上方和下方以及靠近声带的恶性狭窄的延伸使得支架再通和/或用另一个更长的替换是不可行的。因此，气管切开术是保证通气的唯一选择。用硬质支气管镜进行部分气道再通后，使用经皮扩张气管切开技术将气管切开插管插入狭窄处。
