  • Title: Successful Stenting for Bronchial Stenosis Resulting from Blunt Airway Trauma.
    Author: Roh JY, Kim I, Eom JS, Lee G, Ahn HY, Lee MK.
    Journal: Intern Med; 2018 Nov 15; 57(22):3277-3280. PubMed ID: 29984759.
    Abstract:
    Blunt airway trauma is rare but life threatening. Injuries to other vital organs accompany this type of injury in most cases; therefore, conservative treatment may be considered first. In cases of delayed fibrotic airway stenosis after conservative treatment, surgical treatment or bronchoscopic intervention are therapeutic options. We herein report a case of delayed airway stenosis after a blunt traumatic airway injury that was successfully managed by silicone stenting.
