Summary
Surgically untreatable tracheal stenosis is a very serious condition that requires repeated interventions of the interventional bronchologist and has an uncertain prognosis. This case report describes the definitive solution of tracheal stenosis, following long-term unsuccessful dilatations and stenting, by the insertion of the Montgomery T tube. The procedure requires close cooperation between the interventional bronchologist and the anaesthetist, using a combination of rigid and flexible bronchoscopes and high-frequency jet ventilation. In this patient, the insertion of the Montgomery T tube provided a significant improvement in the quality of life, maintaining patency of the airways, enabling phonation, and reducing the risk of acute choking.
Keywords:
tracheal stenosis – Montgomery T tube – jet ventilation
