Long-term results of intensive care patients with post-intubation tracheal stenosis: 7 years follow-up

PITS is a challenging situation in ICU patients. In patients with a preliminary diagnosis of PITS, bronchoscopy should be performed without delay, and it should be known that interventional bronchoscopy is not only a diagnostic tool but an effective strategy in treatment management after the diagnosis is finalised. The advantage of interventional bronchoscopy is that it alleviates symptoms that necessitate hospitalisation in the ICU and eliminates the need for ICU of patients.
