Successful Placement of a Silicone Y‐Stent Using the Pullback Technique Through a Self‐Expandable Metallic Stent in a Case of Tuberculous Airway Stenosis
Severe tuberculous tracheobronchial stenosis (TSTB) could induce significant respiratory dysfunction. Airway interventions, including silicone stent placement, represent effective TSTB treatment options. In this rare case, a rigid bronchoscope could be passed through the metallic stent, enabling silicone Y stent placement using the pullback technique, yielding dramatically improved respiratory conditions.
