1. Argon plasma coagulation in the management of uncovered tracheal stent fracture

Author

Subjects
Argon plasma coagulation, Tracheal stent, Fracture, Diseases of the respiratory system, RC705-779
Abstract

Endotracheal and endobronchial stenting, particularly with uncovered stents, can be complicated by stent fracture, granulation tissue formation, direct airway injury, and airway obstruction. While stent removal is possible, it can result in significant complications and long-term benefit is not guaranteed. Argon plasma coagulation can be employed to trim fractured stent fragments and remove granulation tissue simultaneously. In this manuscript, we report a case and describe our experience with using this technique.

Abstract

A 70-year-old woman diagnosed with advanced, non-resectable programmed cell death ligand 1-positive-non-small-cell lung carcinoma was treated with pembrolizumab as first-line therapy. Soon after therapy initiation, she presented with severe dyspnea, and chest computed tomography revealed a soft tissue mass in the lower trachea of the right main bronchus. During bronchoscopy, she became severely hypoxic, and we performed endoscopic tumor ablation and Dumon Y-stent placement. We considered this severe deterioration caused by pseudoprogression, and suggest that it is necessary to perform bronchoscopy and to prepare for the bronchial intervention when treating patients with immune checkpoint inhibitors.
