Abstract
|
|
|
|
Anterior mediastinal tracheostomy (AMT) is performed to establish an airway after re- section of advanced tumors in the cervicothoracic region. We report a case of suc- cessful placement of a covered retrievable self-expandable nitinol stent for a stoma stricture that developed after AMT in a patient with adenoid cystic carcinoma of the trachea. Two stent placements and removals, at two and three months after their ini- tial placement, were performed due to loosening of the stents. Although we did not achieve long-term results as the patient died of massive hemorrhage, the stent place- ment was both feasible and safe, thus suggesting that temporary stent placement may be a valuable option for treating stoma stricture occurring after AMT.
