Key Points

This case aims to illustrate the successful placement of a tracheal stent under ECMO for airway stenosis due to lymph node metastasis from bladder cancer.
Case report of a 64-year-old female with bladder cancer and airway stenosis
Utilized ECMO due to increasing hypoxia during intervention
Performed bronchoscopy and EBUS-TBNA for diagnosis and treatment.
Successful tracheal stent placement resolved airway obstruction caused by lymph node metastasis
Pathological findings confirmed recurrence of bladder cancer
ECMO was shown to be effective in managing severe respiratory distress during the procedure.

Implication

Demonstrates effective airway management in a patient with bladder cancer metastasis, highlighting ECMO's role in severe cases.
