  • Title: Endobronchial stenting for anastomotic stenosis after sleeve resection.
    Author: Tsang V, Goldstraw P.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 1989 Oct; 48(4):568-71. PubMed ID: 2802859.
    Abstract:
    Bronchial anastomotic stenosis is a potentially serious complication of sleeve resection. A Silastic endobronchial stent that prevents progressive narrowing at the anastomotic site is described. Insertion of the stent offers a simple and effective treatment that allows improved pulmonary performance, clearing of infection, and good quality of life. The long-term prognosis, however, remains questionable.
