Bronchial anastomotic stenosis is a potentially serious complication of sleeve resection. A Silastic endobronchial stent that prevents progressive narrowing at the anastomotic site is described. Insertion of the stent offers a simple and effective treatment that allows improved pulmonary performance, clearing of infection, and good quality of life. The long-term prognosis, however, remains questionable.
