title: [Acquired tracheobronchial stenosis of the premature infant under artificial respiration. Value of bronchography and endoscopic balloon dilatation. Apropos of 7 cases].
abstract: The authors report about a series of 7 cases of acquired tracheobronchial stenosis in premature infants who were intubated as soon as they were born and ventilated. Two important points can be pointed out: the merits of bedside bronchography, which allows diagnosing the lesions, the merits of balloon dilatation during tracheobronchoscopy on the ENT operating theatre to treat the stenosis. This technique allowed improving ventilation and removing the tube in 6 of 7 cases.
