[Anesthetic management of tracheobronchial stent insertion and extracorporeal lung assist (ECLA)].

We experienced eight cases of general anesthesia for tracheobronchial stent insertion. All stents were Ultraflex stent (Boston Scientific, Tokyo), and they were inserted guided by bronchofiberscopy under general anesthesia. Anesthesia was induced with patients under spontaneous breathing, and we inserted a tracheal tube or a laryngeal mask airway.
