Description
Summary:Tracheal stenosis following brief intubation is a relatively rare but serious problem. However, some degree of airway injury is common following intubation, regardless of the duration. We herein report a rare case of a female patient in her late sixties, who developed severe tracheal stenosis following just a weeklong intubation. The tracheal stenosis was successfully treated via dilation and stenting using a self-expanding metal stent.
