Objectives: Dynamic flexible bronchoscopy is the “gold standard” for assessing changes in
airway luminal size associated with tracheobronchomalacia, but the procedure has not been …

OBJECTIVE. The objective of our study was to evaluate the role of dynamic inspiratory-
expiratory imaging with multidetector CT in patients with suspected tracheobronchomalacia …

Tracheobronchomalacia (TBM) is increasingly recognized in infants, children, and adults
with acquired chronic lung diseases as the use of flexible bronchoscopy has become widely …

Introduction Flexible bronchoscopy (FB) is the current gold standard for diagnosing
tracheobronchomalacia. However, it is not always feasible and virtual bronchoscopy (VB) …

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to compare dynamic expiratory imaging and end-
expiratory imaging using multi-detector CT (MDCT) of the central airways in patients …

There is increasing recognition of tracheobronchomalacia (TBM) in patients with respiratory
complaints, though its true incidence in the adult population remains unknown. Most of these …

Background Tracheobronchomalacia (TBM) is a pathologic condition in which softening of
tracheal and bronchial cartilage causes the dynamic narrowing of transverse or sagittal …

PURPOSE: To compare dynamic expiratory and end-expiratory computed tomography (CT)
for depicting central airway collapse in patients with acquired tracheobronchomalacia …

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

Unambiguous definitions and clinically useful classifications provide a common language
for health care providers managing expiratory central airway collapse (ECAC). By applying …
