We report herein a case of nonmalignant middle lobe atelectasis of the right lung resulting in significant stenosis of the airway. The new short self-expandable metallic stents (SEMS) were used to perform temporary stenting and expansion of the right middle lobe airway. SEMS have been used to treat airway obstructions in the trachea, as well as the right and left carina, but few studies have looked at placing SEMS at the level of the bronchi, especially right middle lobe bronchus.
我们在此报告一例因右肺中叶非恶性肺不张导致气道严重狭窄的病例。采用新型短自膨式金属支架（SEMS）对右中叶气道进行临时支架置入和扩张。SEMS已被用于治疗气管以及左右主支气管分叉处的气道阻塞，但很少有研究关注在支气管水平，尤其是右中叶支气管放置SEMS。
