title: [Anesthesia for bronchial stenosis treated by balloon catheter dilatation].
abstract: We experienced three cases of successful balloon catheter dilatation for bronchial stenosis under general anesthesia. There was no problem for two patients, but the third patient planned for stent insertion had bronchiomediastinal fistula. This procedure is generally performed under local anesthesia but more safely done under general anesthesia with muscle relaxants considering operative failure by bucking, pain of patients and prolonged procedure.
