Twelve ASA Ⅳ or Ⅴ patients with severe airway stenosis, aged 34-87 yr, weighing 50-80 kg,were enrolled in the study. The guidewire and endotracheal tube were inserted through the oral cavity under the guidance of the method of interventional radiology. The expandor was then exchanged and the endotracheal tube was placed in the suitable position within the trachea along the expandor under X-ray guidance. Endotracheal intubation was technically successful in all patients, without serious complications in the process. The intubation time was 1-5 min.
