Abstract

Stenting is an effective method of treating airway stenosis. However, airway obstruction due to mucus plugging is problematic. Treatment of this has mainly been conservative. This report describes a patient with complicated tracheal stenosis treated with silicone hood stent, who experienced repeated episodes of airway obstruction due to sputum accumulation. A novel method of sputum clearance and self-care, using a long endotracheal tube within the silicone stent, is described. This procedure resulted in a stable and patent airway, and the patient was discharged smoothly after the procedure. No further respiratory symptom occurred during the follow-up period.
