Successful Placement of a Silicone Y‐Stent Using the Pullback Technique Through a Self‐Expandable Metallic Stent in a Case of Tuberculous Airway Stenosis

ABSTRACT Severe tuberculous tracheobronchial stenosis (TSTB) could induce significant respiratory dysfunction. Airway interventions, including silicone stent placement, represent effective TSTB treatment options. In this rare case, a rigid bronchoscope could be passed through the metallic stent, enabling silicone Y stent placement using the pullback technique, yielding dramatically improved respiratory conditions.
