Bronchoscopic techniques in the management of patients with tuberculosis
2017, International Journal of Infectious DiseasesCitation Excerpt :This approach is frequently the first treatment for tracheobronchial stenosis, with long term successful results ranging from to 6.3% to 73.0%. The wide effectiveness range depends on different conditions of the treated tracheobronchial walls among studies (Iwamoto et al., 2004; Ryu et al., 2006; Ferretti et al., 1995; Lee et al., 1999; Cho et al., 2015). When balloon dilation fails and more than one dilation is required, stent procedures are needed.

2008, Journal of Vascular and Interventional RadiologyCitation Excerpt :Radiation has the ability to inhibit granulation tissue formation because of its cellular inactivation, clonogenic cell death, radiation-induced apoptosis, decrease in extracellular matrix synthesis, impairment of cellular migration, and down-regulation of transforming growth factor-β (24–26). Balloon dilation has been shown to be a safe and effective procedure for the treatment of benign tracheobronchial strictures, with initial clinical success rates of 68%–100% (1,2,4). However, restenosis occurs in many cases and has been reported to occur at rates of 30%–80% (1,2,4,7,9).

2007, ChestCitation Excerpt :Balloon dilation has been shown to be a safe and effective procedure for the treatment of benign tracheobronchial strictures with initial clinical success rates of 68 to 100%.234 However, restenosis occurs in many cases and has been reported to occur at rates from 30 to 80%.2341015 The restenosis rate seemed to be notably high in patients with chronic fibrotic stenosis caused by endobronchial tuberculosis.1015
