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 …

Airway complications following lung transplantation result in considerable morbidity and are
associated with a mortality of 2% to 4%. The incidence of lethal and nonlethal airway …

Importance The study demonstrates use of a novel intervention for severe
tracheobronchomalacia (TBM). Objective To test a novel, 3-dimensionally (3D) printed …

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

Purpose Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans are

Excessive central airway collapse (ECAC) is characterized by excessive narrowing of the
airway lumen during exhalation leading to dyspnea, cough, mucostasis, recurrent …

Dyspnea, cough, sputum production, and recurrent respiratory infections are frequently
encountered clinical concerns leading patients to seek medical care. It is not unusual for a …

Background: Patients with severe symptomatic expiratory central airway collapse (ECAC)
undergo a stent trial to determine whether they are candidate for tracheobronchoplasty. Most …

Tracheobronchomalacia, as a whole, is likely misdiagnosed and underestimated as a cause
of respiratory compromise in pediatric patients. Currently, there is no standardized approach …
