Expandable metallic bronchial endoprosthesis.
The authors report the successful insertion, under fluoroscopic guidance, of an expandable metallic endoprosthesis in a 60-year-old woman with recurrent obstructive pneumonia secondary to metastasis. This procedure allowed 93 days of palliation for the patient, who had previously required multiple endoscopic treatments for the recurrent bronchial obstruction.
