Abstract:

Tracheobronchial stenosis caused by tracheobronchial tuberculosis (TBTB) has been paid more and more attention to by clinicians. It endangers the health and quality of life of patients, and can lead to respiratory failure and even death in severe cases. The effect of anti-tuberculosis drugs alone is not satisfactory. The authors review the latest research progress and treatment strategies of tuberculous tracheobronchial stenosis, including interventional therapy (cryotherapy, thermal ablation, balloon dilatation, airway stent implantation, rigid bronchoscopy, microdebrider bronchoscopy), local radiotherapy, local drug treatment, biological reagents,gene therapy and surgical treatment,based on combining with anti-tuberculosis drug treatment, in order to find more efficient treatment methods and provide reference basis for improving quality of life of patients.
