[A procedure for bronchial dilatation using a balloon-based technique as a method for removing post-inflammatory stenosis].
18-years old girl was admitted to hospital because of recurrent infections after pulmonary tuberculosis treated 4 year ago. Chest X-ray was near normal but during bronchoscopy--narrowing of lingula bronchi was revealed. In order to dilate the bronchi, a balloon, bronchoscopically directed, coming from a set designed for percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, was applied.
