FIG. 14.5 CT appearance of tracheal stenosis in frontal section with 3-D reconstruction, in the right, giving a good representation of the level and
importance of the stenosis (white star). Identification of suprastenotic (1), stenotic (2), and substenotic (3) areas. (Reprinted with permission from C.A.

FIG. 14.6 Endoscopic management of stenoses: (A) stenosis of the carina and both bronchi stem, (B) endoscopic postdilation aspect of this same
stenosis, (C) Nonoperable malignant tumor stenosis of the trachea, (D) palliative endoscopic treatment using a silicone prosthesis allowing instantaneous
repermeabilization of the respiratory tract. (E) Different types of silicone prostheses: from left to right: large tracheal prosthesis, small tracheal prosthesis,
diabolo tracheal prosthesis, “Y” prosthesis for carina’s stenosis [68]. Pictures (D), (E), (F), and, (G) were kindly provided by the University of Reims.
