Abstract:
The obstruction of the airways represents a severe complication in bronchial neoplasia. Endoscopic laser resection associated with the positioning of a stent represents a therapeutic praesidium that ensures the potency of the airways. The authors describe a case of bronchial carcinoma treated with endobronchial laser resection and positioning of a Dumon stent.
