Acquired neonatal bronchial stenosis after selective intubation: Successful managed with balloon dilatation

Abstract

Premature babies are prone to airway-related complications. Selective intubation for the management of pulmonary interstitial emphysema may cause acquired bronchial stenosis. Balloon dilatation under fluoroscopy is a safe minimal invasive and successful intervention for acquired bronchial stenosis. Follow-up bronchoscopy is needed due to risk of restenosis.
