  • Enoletne izkušnje z Dumonovimi silikonskimi traheobronhialnimi stenti = One-year experience with Dumon tracheobronchial stents
    Štupnik, Tomaž ...
    Background. Airway stenting is done to relieve nonresectable airway obstruction due to endotracheal intubation and tracheostomy related tracheal injuries, malignant or benign tumors, extrinsic ... compression or tracheobronchomalacia. Dumon silicone stents are considered the gold standard.They are placed with the aid of the rigid bronchoscope while the patient is under general anesthesia. Methods. During a one year period (2006),11 Dumon-type stents were placed in eight patients: four of them with postintubation stenoses, two with malignant airway obstructions, and one with TBC stenosis. Results. Complete long-term relief of symptoms was achieved in six patients. Three stents were replaced with larger diameter stents, one witha Montgomery T-tube because of migration, and one was removed due to inability of the patient to clear secretions. Conclusion. Dumon tracheobronchial stents are very effective in maintaining airway patency and are associated with good tolerance and infrequent complications. A proper selection of stent diameter and length is crucial to prevent migration.
