Central airway obstruction is a common complication of lung cancer. The microdebrider is a new device available for treatment of central airway obstruction.
We report a case a 59-yr-old male with T3N2M1 non-small cell lung cancer with malignant distal left mainstem obstruction treated successfully with a novel elongated rotating tip microdebrider via rigid bronchoscopy with sufficient length to reach distal bronchial lesions.
The microdebrider is an excellent addition to the spectrum of interventions available for the management of central airway obstruction with advantages including accuracy and immediate removal of debris without a need for separate suctioning or limitation in oxygenation.
中央气道阻塞是肺癌的常见并发症。微型清创器是一种可用于治疗中央气道阻塞的新型设备。
我们报告一例59岁男性,患有T3N2M1期非小细胞肺癌,左主支气管远端恶性梗阻,通过新型细长旋转头微型清创器经硬质支气管镜成功治疗,该清创器长度足以到达远端支气管病变部位。
微型清创器是中央气道阻塞管理可用干预手段中的一项出色补充,其优点包括准确性高,能立即清除碎屑,无需单独抽吸,也不会限制氧合。
