Successful Treatment of Recurrent Airway Stenosis With Paclitaxel-Coated Balloons: A Case Report

Although current treatment strategies for nonmalignant airway stenosis may offer short-term relief, their effectiveness is limited by high recurrence rates, often requiring additional procedures. While paclitaxel-coated balloons (PCB) have demonstrated effectiveness in treating stenosis across various vascular and nonvascular conditions, their evidence in recurrent airway stenosis remains limited. Here, we present the case of a 35-year-old female with bronchial stenosis who underwent multiple bronchoscopic interventions, all of which were complicated by restenosis. Following the addition of a PCB to the therapeutic regimen, the patient achieved sustained airway patency.
