Abstract
Bronchial stenosis is a major cause of severe postoperative period in lung recipients. One of the methods to restore airway patency is recanalization using laser. This technique is popular due to the combination of cutting and coagulation effects. In this article, we demonstrate the possibility of intraluminal use of a thulium fiber laser (TFL) to recanalize bronchial stenosis in lung recipients.
