ABSTRACT
Although a tracheal stent can be an option for inoperable tracheal stenoses there still are some troublesome side effects including overgranulation from foreign body irritation restenosis and patient's discomfort associated with the procedure. We report a successful case of a retrievable stent made of self-expandable 'shape memory' metal and polyurethane in a 24 year old female patient with respiratory distress and tight stenosis in the trachea and left main bronchus, The stent was inserted following a balloon dilatation and was successfully removed on the 7th days after the procedure. She regained a normal active life without any repiratory symptoms and a follow-up of 8 months showed satisfactory results.
