| Summary: | The article presents the results of diagnostics and treatment of 6 patients, whom the trachea-esophageal stenting was performed (5 men, 1 woman). The age of patients was from 49 to 78 years old. The indication to stent implantation was in cases of esophageal cancer in 4 patients. Metastatic lesions of the lymph nodes of the mediastinum was the reason of esophageal stenosis after previously performed surgery (type of Lewes operation) in one case. Another reason of surgery was central cancer of the right lung with invasion to the mediastinum, trachea and esophagus compression in one patient. Treatment management was determined by presence of respiratory failure and dysphagia evidence. The trachea stenting was carried out as the first stage of treatment in case of respiratory failure. The esophageal stenting was made in case of dysphagia. There weren’t any complications. The trachea-esophageal patency was restored. |
