How Bronchoscopic Balloon Dilation + Silicone Stent is performed
This treatment is suitable for stenotic or collapsed lesions accessible by endoscopy. Balloon dilation, mechanical incision, and silicone stents can be selected in combination if necessary. Usually, under sedation or general anesthesia, the stenosis is gradually dilated after bronchoscopic evaluation, and an appropriate stent is placed as needed to maintain the lumen, and the position and ventilation are confirmed under imaging or endoscopy. Postoperative attention is paid to ventilation, secretions, and stent displacement. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific information is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
