Abstract

To maintain an adequate airway in a patient with tracheobronchial narrowing coming from various causes, prosthetic tracheobronchial stents provide palliative treatment for narrowed airways where surgical resection is inadvisable. After insertion, previous reported complications were granuloma formation, dysphagia, suction catheter entrapment and fatal massive hemoptysis. We report, a case of complication associated with expandible metallic stent with endobronchial stenosis due to tuberculosis.
