Abstract EN
Endoscopic treatment of a bronchial restenosis previously treated by insertion of a partially covered self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) can be difficult.
Classically, after recanalization of the bronchus, the stent is removed and replaced by a more adapted one.
We report on two cases of proximal bronchial restenosis treated by insertion of an additional stent inside the lumen of the previously inserted stent using the stent-in-stent (SIS) technique.
The indications for the initial stent were malignancy in Patient 1 and posttransplant bronchial stenosis in Patient 2.
Restenosis occurred at the proximal end of the stent within months in both cases.
Stent removal and insertion of a new stent were considered, but this option was discarded because of an excessive risk of bronchial perforation and preference towards an alternative approach.
In both cases, a second customized SEMS was placed using the SIS technique after ablation of the proximal end stenosis of the stent by argon plasma coagulation and/or dilation with a balloon.
Recanalization of the bronchus was achieved in both cases without complications.
The SIS technique is a valuable alternative to removal of SEMS in case of proximal bronchial restenosis.
