In recent years, external stenting has been used as a reliable method to relieve airway compression of the trachea and main bronchi in young children with acceptable age-proportional airway growth. However, to our knowledge, little literature supporting this approach for the distal airway has been published. A 1-year-old girl with absent pulmonary valve syndrome who had recurrent respiratory infections was diagnosed with bronchomalacia. She underwent external stenting; the infections disappeared postoperatively. This case describes a successful external stenting for malacia of the bronchus intermedius, which exhibited short- and mid-term safety and effectiveness.
近年来，对于小儿，尤其是能够接受随年龄增长的气道生长的儿童，外部支架置入已被用作缓解气管和主支气管气道压迫的可靠方法。然而，据我们所知，对于远端气道，很少有文献支持这种方法。我们报道了一例因肺动脉瓣缺如综合征而反复发生呼吸道感染的 1 岁女孩，被诊断为支气管软化症。她接受了外部支架置入术，术后感染消失。该病例描述了一种成功的用于治疗中间支气管软化症的外部支架置入术，该方法具有短期和中期的安全性和有效性。
