title: [Post-laryngectomy tracheomalacia. The use of self-expandable metal prostheses].
abstract: Tracheomalacia is an uncommon disorder in laryngectomized patients, but it is an important therapeutic problem. Self-expandable metal prostheses can be used in its treatment. We report the successful implantation of two tracheal prostheses in a laryngectomized patient.
