Double Y-Stent Placement for Tracheobronchial Stenosis

Abstract: The silicone stent has been widely used to re-establish airway patency for patients with airway stenosis. The ideal shape of the stent should be well adapted to the tracheobronchial anatomic structures, and its optimal length should cover the entire inner wall of the stenotic airway. Although the silicone Y-stent was developed as a dedicated prosthesis for main carinal stenosis, we often encounter patients with tracheobronchial stenosis that cannot be treated by a single silicone Y-stent. The present study rep… Show more

“…To overcome these drawbacks, we reported a technique in which a Dumon Y-stent was placed in RC1 [12]. Afterward, we developed the double Y-stenting technique so as to treat the stenotic airway around both the main carina and RC1 [10]. Double Y-stenting relieved dyspnoea in all cases and six of the seven cases with supplemental oxygen, including one patient requiring mechanical ventilation, were able to discontinue supplemental oxygen.…”

“…The assessment of lesion location influences the decision as to bronchoscopic management. Since the indication for airway stenting is proximal to the segmental bronchi, stenting is contraindicated if tumor invasion at the level of segmental bronchi is proven on bronchoscopy [20,21]. Assessment of lesion length also provides important information, including selection of the bronchoscopic modality for airway dilatation and choice of stent length.…”
