title: Successful Recanalization of a Complete Lobar Bronchial Stenosis  in a Lung Transplant Patient Using a Combined Percutaneous  and Bronchoscopic Approach.
abstract: Airway stenosis is a major complication after lung transplantation that is usually managed with a combination of interventional endoscopic techniques, including endobronchial debridement, balloon dilation, and stent lacement. Herein, we report a successful case of recanalization of a complete stenosis of the right middle lobe bronchus in a lung transplant patient, by using a combined percutaneous–bronchoscopic approach after the failure of endobronchial debridement.
