Abstract

Most of the patient with endobronchial tuberculosis have some degree of bronchial stenosis. however, a part of bronchial stenosis need aggressive treatment for the patency because of severe symptoms. The self-expendable metallic stents provide palliative treatment for narrowed airways where surgical resection is inadvisable. We experienced a successful left wedge pneumonectomy on a 29-year-old woman with obstruction of left main bronchus due to complication of the bronchial stent. She had inserted self-expendable metallic stents on left main bronchus of the tuberculous bronchial stenosis two times. There was no specific postoperative complication.
