Abstract
- Although most of the patients with endobronchial tuberculosis have some degree of bronchial stenosis, more aggressive treatment is needed to restore the patency of the involved tracheobronchial tree for some patients not responding well to antituberculous chemotherapy combined with steroids. In our first case, we resected stenotic trachea in a 42 years old women who showed overgrowing granulation tissue through the modified Gianturco stent wire which was previously inserted and anastomosed end to end. Another case was a 37 years old male with left main bronchial restenosis complicated after inserting a Strecker stent and sleeve left upper lobectomy was performed.
