Clinical analysis of complications of nitinol stent implantation for patients with benign or malignant tracheobronchial stenosis / 中国医师进修杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To discuss the differences and causes of earlier and later complications of nitinol stent implantation for patients with benign or malignant tracheobronchial stenosis.Methods Sixty patients with tracheobronchial stenosis analyzed retrospectively the incidence of earlier and later complications of nitinol stent implantation.Results In the earlier period,the incidence rate of postoperative hemoptysis of patients with malignant tracheobronchial stenosis was higher than that of benign patients, but its incidence of granulation tissue formation in airway was less than that of benign ones.In the later period, the incidence of pulmonary infection and granulation tissue formation of patients with malignant tracheobronchial stenosis were higher than those of benign ones. Conclusions It is more effective modus with nitinol stent implantation for patients with airway stenosis, but there were great differences of postoperative complications between malignant and benign tracheobronchial stenosis.
