  • Title: Bronchial sleeve resection for posttransplant stricture.
    Author: Paulson EC, Singhal S, Kucharczuk JC, Sterman DH, Kaiser LR, Marshall MB.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2003 Dec; 76(6):2075-6. PubMed ID: 14667647.
    Abstract:
    Nonanastomotic bronchial stenosis is a rare complication of lung transplantation. We report a case of a bilateral lung transplant recipient who experienced recalcitrant stenosis of the bronchus intermedius. All attempts at conservative management failed, and the stricture was successfully treated by a parenchymal-sparing segmental sleeve resection. Although rare, this is an important technique in the management of this difficult problem.
