title: Laser photoradiation therapy for tracheobronchial amyloid.
abstract: Tracheobronchial amyloid is uncommon and has a high morbidity and mortality. In the past, progressive airways obstruction has been treated with bronchoscopic resection but benefit has been limited. We report the successful use of a laser to treat this condition and the responses of amyloid tissue to laser photoirradiation.
