Central airway stenosis is extremely rare in pregnancy and could lead to respiratory and cardiovascular embarrassment, especially at the time of delivery. Initially, patients may not show obvious signs of respiratory difficulty. Early recognition of the disease and anticipatory management of a complicated delivery are very important. We present a pregnant patient with tuberculosis-induced severe tracheobronchial stenosis and discuss the management challenges of her delivery.

Background: Long segmental congenital tracheal and tracheobronchial stenosis are a rare congenital airway anomaly with variable arborizations. This study aims to analyze presentations and outcomes of slide- tracheoplasty in long segmental congenital tracheal and tracheobronchial stenosis with variable arborizations METHODS: Retrospective analysis of all patients underwent slide tracheoplasty between March 1995 to Feb 2023 for long segmental congenital tracheal and tracheobronchial stenosis. Preoperative airway morphology was divided into anatomic types based on the Great Ormond Street Children Hospital Morphological Classification.

Article Synopsis
- Tracheobronchial mucormycosis is a serious and often fatal infection that leads to narrowing of the airways, making it hard to treat.
- A case study involved a 37-year-old woman with a history of hyperthyroidism who developed severe airway issues after a medication caused her immune system to weaken.
- Successful treatment included advanced therapies like venous-venous ECMO and prolonged use of antifungals, showing promising results in managing the infection.

Airway management in complex tracheobronchial surgery (TBS) remains a challenge in thoracic surgery. The use of extracorporeal membrane pulmonary oxygenation (ECMO) in thoracic surgery is rather rare, except for lung transplantation. To report the safety and efficacy of ECMO in complex TBS, a total of 5 patients with tracheobronchial and bronchial reconstructive surgery supported by ECMO in the Department of Thoracic Surgery of Tangdu Hospital, Air Force Medical University from May 2019 to June 2024 were collected.

A variety of thoracic imaging modalities and techniques have been used to evaluate diseases of the trachea and central bronchi. This document evaluates evidence for the use of thoracic imaging in the evaluation of tracheobronchial disease, including clinically suspected tracheal or bronchial stenosis, tracheomalacia or bronchomalacia, and bronchiectasis. Appropriateness guidelines for initial imaging evaluation of tracheobronchial disease and for pretreatment planning or posttreatment evaluation are included.
