Background/Aims Tracheomalacia (TM) is not an unusual diagnosis in pediatric respiratory
clinics. The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of paired static end‐inspiratory/end …

Background Tracheomalacia is characterized by excessive expiratory collapse of the
trachea. Objective To investigate the accuracy of free-breathing cine CT for diagnosis of …

Introduction Tracheomalacia (TM) is an important cause of respiratory morbidity. Dynamic
flexible bronchoscopy is considered the gold standard for diagnosis. Dynamic airway …

Background Tracheobronchomalacia, defined as variable collapse of the airways, has been
recognized as an important cause of respiratory morbidity but still widely underdiagnosed …

Objectives/Hypothesis Both flexible and rigid bronchoscopy can be used to assess
tracheomalacia; however, there is limited evidence comparing the two techniques. The …

ObjectiveThis project compares the degree of tracheal collapse determined by rigid and
flexible bronchoscopy in paediatric patients with tracheomalacia. MethodsA total of nine …

Introduction Tracheomalacia is a common congenital condition causing stridor in young
children. However, the evaluation of these children remains poorly standardised across …

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to assess the effects of radiation
dose reduction on the assessment of the tracheal lumen on expiratory multidetector …

Objective To evaluate the use of a non‐breath held 3D‐CT‐bronchoscopy in detecting
tracheobronchomalacia in infants. Methods The study was based on 17 infants who …

Objective Standard methods to evaluate tracheal pathology in children, including
bronchoscopy, may require general anesthesia. Conventional dynamic proximal airway …
