Chief, Division of Thoracic Surgery and Interventional Pulmonology, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, 185 Pilgrim Rd. W/DC 201 Boston, MA 02215, USA. Email: [email protected]. Abstract: Tracheobronchoplasty, or posterior splinting of the airway with mesh, is a durable solution for patients with severe tracheobronchomalacia (TBM). Recurrent symptoms of TBM following tracheobronchoplasty are uncommon; however, when they occur can have significant impact on quality of life. Appropriate management of recurrent TBM requires a systematic and multidisciplinary collaborative approach. We present a patient with postoperative symptom recurrence requiring revisional tracheobronchoplasty to highlight the complexity of the disease’s presentation, workup and treatment.

Email: [email protected]. Abstract: Idiopathic subglottic stenosis (iSGS) is a fibrotic disease of unclear etiology that produces obstruction of the central airway in the anatomic region under the glottis. The diagnosis of this entity is difficult, usually delayed and confounded with other common respiratory diseases. No apparent etiology is identified even after a comprehensive workup that includes a complete history, physical examination, pulmonary function testing, auto-antibodies, imaging studies, and endoscopic procedures. This approach, however, helps to exclude other conditions such as granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA). It is also helpful to characterize the lesion and outline management strategies.

  • Rigid Laryngoscopy, Oesophagoscopy and Bronchoscopy in Adults

Ask a dentist to make a and laryngoscopy for both diagnostic and customised guard for patients with therapeutic reasons are generally done abnormal teeth (Figure 4) or fashion one in under general anaesthesia. Panendoscopy the operating room from thermoplastic (all 3 procedures) is commonly performed sheeting (Figures 5a, b). to rule out synchronous primaries with squamous cell cancer of the upper aerodi- gestive tract. This chapter covers the tech- niques, pitfalls and safety measures of these 3 procedures. Morbidity of rigid endoscopy Sharing the airway with an anaesthetist requires close communication and a good understanding between surgeon and anaes- thetist. Figure 1: Protecting the lips with the fingers of the non-dominant hand It is surprising how often rigid endoscopy causes minor extralaryngeal and extra- oesophageal trauma. It is extremely easy to tear or perforate the delicate tissues that line the upper aerodigestive tract; this can lead to deep cervical sepsis, mediastinitis and death. Consequently it is important that a surgeon exercises extreme caution and knows when to abandon e.g. a difficult oesophagoscopy procedure. Mucosal injury occurs in up to 75% of cases and commonly involves the lips or Figure 2: Endoscopes exert excessive 1 angles of the mouth . To protect especially lateral pressure on the teeth to either side the lower lip one should advance the scope of a gap between the front teeth over the fingers of the non-dominant hand (Figure 1).

  • Imaging of the Trachea
    Keynote Lecture Series Imaging of the trachea Jo-Anne O. Shepard, Efren J. Flores, Gerald F. Abbott Division of Thoracic Imaging, Department of Radiology, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA Correspondence to: Jo-Anne O. Shepard, MD. Thoracic Imaging, Department of Radiology, Massachusetts General Hospital, Founders 202, 55 Fruit Street, Boston, MA 02114, USA. Email: [email protected]. Numerous benign and malignant tracheal diseases may affect the trachea primarily and secondarily. While the posterior anterior (PA) and lateral chest radiograph is the conventional study for initial evaluation of the trachea and central airways, findings may not always be apparent on conventional radiographs, and further evaluation with cross sectional imaging is usually necessary. Computed tomography (CT) is the imaging modality of choice for imaging the trachea and bronchi. Familiarity with the imaging appearances of the normal and diseased trachea will enhance diagnostic evaluation.

  • The Prevalence of Tracheobronchomalacia in Patients
    The Internet Journal of Pulmonary Medicine ISPUB.COM Volume 12 Number 1 The Prevalence of Tracheobronchomalacia in Patients with Asthma or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease R Patel, L Irugulapati, V Patel, A Esan, C Lapidus, J Weingarten, A Saleh, A Sung Citation R Patel, L Irugulapati, V Patel, A Esan, C Lapidus, J Weingarten, A Saleh, A Sung. The Prevalence of Tracheobronchomalacia in Patients with Asthma or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. The Internet Journal of Pulmonary Medicine. 2009 Volume 12 Number 1. Abstract Background and Objective:Tracheobronchomalacia (TBM) is an under-diagnosed condition presenting with nonspecific symptoms. Patients are often diagnosed with “ difficult to treat” asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), especially in a community setting. Prevalence studies showing wide ranges have been based on selective populations. Computed tomography (CT) is a useful non-invasive test that can detect excessive collapse of the central airways. This study aims to determine the prevalence of TBM with compatible features incidentally noted on CT in patients hospitalized for asthma or COPD in a community setting. Methods:A retrospective analysis of CT scans of the chest in patients with a diagnosis of asthma or COPD from January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2007 was conducted. Images were assessed for excessive collapse of central airways between the thoracic inlet and carina. We defined a 50% reduction in the airway lumen diameter as criteria to diagnose TBM. Results:638 patients with a clinical diagnosis of asthma or COPD were admitted during the study period. Twenty-five patients (8.8%) met the criteria for TBM. The prevalence of TBM between the two groups was not statistically different.

Preterm birth is one of the most significant risk factors for infants’ laryngeal stenosis (LS), which can occur as laryngomalacia (LM). LS can be defined as a partial or circumferential narrowing of the endolaryngeal airway and may be congenital or acquired. This condition cause various symptoms such as stridor, dyspnea and respiratory distress, therefore early intubation is required. Most of the patients with LS or LM outgrow their disease, but the rest of them need surgical help. Objectives. The aim of this article is to present a successful surgical treatment for preterm infant with LS. Methods: case presentation and an analysis of literature. Research of articles in “PubMed”, “Google Scholar” databases with keywords used as follows: “Laryngeal stenosis”, “Laryngomalacia”, “Pediatric stent”, “Premature delivery”, “Endolaryngeal microsurgery”. Case presentation. 3-year-old male presented the hospital with diagnosed LM and for laryngeal stent insertion surgery. The patient was born at 26 gestational weeks and was treated for sepsis during the neonatal period, was intubated at birth because of severe respiratory distress, had 6 endolaryngeal microsurgeries (EM) and received Kenalog injections 5 times.
