A cat with posttraumatic stenosis of the terminal part of the thoracic portion of the trachea and carina was successfully treated by balloon dilation of the stenosis during thoracotomy. Thoracotomy was performed at the right fifth intercostal space, and the stenosis was dilated, using a balloon-tipped catheter passed through an endotracheal tube. A 6-week course of orally administered corticosteroids was instituted after surgery. Balloon dilation during thoracotomy is a technically simple procedure for treatment of stenosis of the thoracic portion of the trachea.
一只患有气管胸段末端和隆突创伤后狭窄的猫，通过开胸手术期间对狭窄部位进行球囊扩张成功治愈。在右侧第五肋间进行开胸手术，使用经气管内导管插入的球囊导管对狭窄部位进行扩张。术后给予为期6周的口服皮质类固醇治疗。开胸手术期间的球囊扩张是治疗气管胸段狭窄的一种技术上简单的手术。
