Tracheobronchomalacia and excessive dynamic airway collapse are two separate forms of
dynamic central airway obstruction that may or may not coexist. These entities are …

The ability to measure airway dimensions is important for clinicians, interventional
bronchoscopists and researchers in order to accurately quantify structural abnormalities and …

Airway dimensions are difficult to quantify bronchoscopically because of optical distortion
and a limited ability to gauge depth. Anatomical optical coherence tomography (a OCT), a …

Tracheal collapse is a common problem that is typically observed in middle-aged and older
small-breed dogs. It is a structural, obstructive airway disease with a dynamic component …

Flexible bronchoscopy is a common procedure that is used in both diagnostic and
therapeutic settings but does not readily permit measurement of central airway dimensions …

Rationale: All bronchoscopists will encounter, at some point, central airway obstruction
(CAO) and will face the problem of documenting its severity. Axial imaging is suggested as …

Endoscopic treatment of lower airway pathologies requires accurate quantification of airway
dimensions. We demonstrate the application of a real-time endoscopic optical coherence …

Background: Accurate measurements of airway and lesion dimensions are important to the
developmental progress of paediatric bronchoscopy. The malacia disorders are an …

Congenital subglottic stenosis is rare and as a consequence may not be considered in
children experiencing respiratory difficulty at birth. Diagnosis after a child already is …

BACKGROUND: To establish a reference of tracheal size in children with congenital heart
disease to allow detection of airway stenosis. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective …
