Abstract:
Objective To design the trachea main bronchus covered embranchment stent and study the primary treatment for thoracostomach main bronchial fistula and main bronchial stenosis. Methods The stent was designed on the bases of the peculiar anatomic structure and the pathological changes of thoracostomach main bronchial fistula and main bronchial stenosis. Under the fluoroscopic guidance, implantations were carried out in thoracostomach carina fistula 1 case thoracostomach left main bronchial fistula 1, thoracostomach right main bronchial fistula and left main bronchial stenosis 1 case, altogether with 5 stents. Results Stents were placed successfully, not only improving the breathing and living quality but also completing the closure of the ora of the thoracostomach airway fistula with further vanishing of the choke after drinking and eating togather with the inhalation pneumonia. The bronchus became normal in a main bronchial stenosis after the stent was taken out. Conclusions Trachea main bronchial covered embranchment stent could be used to close thoracostomach airway fistula and to treat main bronchial benign/malignant stenosis. The procedure is simple and safe.
