Insertion technique

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia.

Orotracheal intubation is performed with a rigid bronchoscope. The required length and diameter of the stent must be properly determined. The prosthesis can be folded and introduced into a previously lubricated prosthesis ejector, then expelled into the airway near the area to be treated, or applied directly with the bronchoscope by sliding it through its interior.

Removal of the stent also requires access to the trachea with a rigid bronchoscope. It is doubly simple owing to the tiny dimensions of the device and, secondarily, because the growth of the paediatric patient causes the stent to tend to release spontaneously. An alligator-tooth forceps or similar will complete the removal maneuver.

Other methods of implantation and removal are possible depending on the operator’s experience and preferences.

Post-implant care

Recommendations for the follow-up of the paediatric patient with a stent.

• Periodic check-ups according to medical criteria.
