Histopathological effect of balloon dilation in a live rabbit: Implications for the pediatric airway

“…Six out of eight patients were managed successfully by EACS with ABD by Mirabile et al 39 seven patients. 41 Horn et al performed EACS with ABD for neonates with failure to extubate who would have been otherwise considered for an open anterior cricoid split. 40 They were able to successfully extubate two out of three patients.…”

Optimal Management of a 2-Hour-Old Newborn With Severe Congenital Subglottic Stenosis and Multiple Congenital Heart Diseases

“…The endoscopic techniques give comparable results to ACS. 19 As discussed earlier, ACS is beneficial only in low-grade SGS while its effect is not certain in high-grade stenosis. 4 In addition, presence of thickened anterior cricoid lamina in this case might make ACS difficult, especially with using cold instruments.…”

Predicting outcomes of balloon laryngoplasty in children with subglottic stenosis

“…Worldwide use of high-pressure balloons have confirmed this to be an important tool in the treatment of SGS be it primarily or as an adjuvant method post airway reconstruction. Reported success rates for BL in the treatment of acquired SGS vary between 60% [15] and 100% [11,[16][17][18][19]. Recently Blanchard et al [18] have suggested that BL is a successful primary treatment for congenital SGS, in theory a poor indication for this since cartilage deformity is expected.…”
