Application of combined endoscopic treatment of patients with bronchial stenosis after lung transplantation using thulium laser, balloon dilation, cryoablation, and airway stenting

Le résumé fourni par la source

Bronchial stenosis (BS) is a persistent, breathing-independent narrowing of the bronchial lumen, primarily brought on by scar and/or granulation tissue. BS occurring after lung transplantation tend to be recurrent, resulting in a higher frequency of hospitalizations compared to the group of patients without this complication. Minimally invasive endoscopic repair of the bronchial lumen is a generally recognized treatment for BS. This article demonstrates the experience of using a combined technique for restoring the lumen and preventing recurrent stenosis using thulium laser, balloon dilation, cryoablation, and stenting (hereinafter referred to as the combined technique).
