  • Title: Use of Gianturco Z stents in the treatment of vascular compression of the tracheobronchial tree in childhood. A feasible solution when surgery fails.
    Author: Bugmann P, Rouge JC, Berner M, Friedli B, Le Coultre C.
    Journal: Chest; 1994 Nov; 106(5):1580-2. PubMed ID: 7956423.
    Abstract:
    Severe tracheomalacia secondary to extrinsic vascular compression following a switch operation for transposition is reported. Two attempts at surgical correction failed but successful treatment has been achieved by implantation of two endobronchial Gianturco Z stents. Nonabsorbable stenting in children should be used only in severe obstruction as a last resource, but this technique proved to be feasible in a child weighing 6.2 kg.
