Study design: Case Report
Abstract: 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.
