Congenital bronchial stenosis is a very rare cause of neonatal dyspnea. Surgical management remains challenging in small children. We report successful implantation of a bronchial stent in a 3-month-old female infant presenting with congenital right bronchial stenosis and 18 months of follow-up. Use of stents in children remains controversial because of the problem of size mismatch as the child grows. Nevertheless, expandable stent implantation could be an interesting alternative to complex surgery for localized bronchial stenosis in neonates.
先天性支气管狭窄是新生儿呼吸困难的一个非常罕见的原因。对于幼儿来说，手术治疗仍然具有挑战性。我们报告了一例成功植入支气管支架的病例，该患者为 3 个月大的女性婴儿，患有先天性右支气管狭窄，随访 18 个月。由于儿童的生长问题，支架的使用在儿童中仍然存在争议，因为存在尺寸不匹配的问题。然而，对于新生儿局限性支气管狭窄，可扩张支架植入可能是一种复杂手术的有趣替代方法。
