Tuberculosis Center for Diagnosis and Treatment, Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital, Tongji University School of Medicine, Shanghai Key Lab of Tuberculosis, No.507 Zhengmin Road, Yangpu District, Shanghai, 200433, China.
Background: Bronchoscopic balloon dilatation (BBD) is a common strategy in the treatment of bronchostenosis. However, the longer dilating time in each inflation cycle (approximately 3-5 min) without mechanical ventilation is not possible for the treatment of tracheal stenosis.
Case Presentation: In this study, we reported our experience of BBD with shorter dilating time (10 s or 1 min) and intermittent ventilation for the repair of tuberculous-associated tracheal stenosis in two cases of our hospital.
