Tracheobronchial stenting for airway malacia
2018, Paediatric Respiratory ReviewsCitation Excerpt :Signs include cyanosis, a prolonged expiratory phase, stridor (which can be bi-phasic) respiratory distress and signs of infection [5,16,17]. Sternal or intercostal retraction may be apparent when TBM is severe [16,18,19]. Respiratory distress may manifest as grunting, open mouth breathing and head retraction [20].
External stenting: A reliable technique to relieve airway obstruction in small children
2017, Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular SurgeryCitation Excerpt :The mean percent diameter was 88.5% ± 13.7% for the bronchus and 94.5% ± 8.2% for the T (Figure 7). An airway obstruction in children may result from a cartilage ring,1 congenital TBM,2 vascular compression,3 and other reasons. Presently, sliding plasty is the gold standard for a tracheal ring.7,8

2005, ChestCitation Excerpt :In the majority of healthy and even premature infants, primary TM is a self-limiting disease. Most infants outgrow the condition by the age of 2 years.17,21,36 In the patients with connective tissue disorders and congenital syndromes, the effects of TM often persist and may even be fatal.26,37
