Bronchial stenosis due to endobronchial tuberculosis: successful treatment with self-expanding metallic stent

Department of Radiology, Seoul National University College of Medicine, Korea.

Endobronchial tuberculosis is present in 10-40% of patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis, and more than 90% of the patients with endobronchial tuberculosis have some degree of bronchial stenosis. The primary treatment for tuberculous bronchial stenosis is antituberculous chemotherapy combined with steroids, but some patients do not respond well, and more aggressive treatment is needed to restore the patency of the involved bronchus. Balloon dilatation of tuberculous bronchial stenosis has been reported to be successful. However, in our experience, balloon dilatation of the stenotic segment has not significantly improved patients' clinical symptoms except in those with very short segmental stenosis. We describe a case of tuberculous bronchial stenosis that was successfully treated with Gianturco self- expanding metallic stents.
