Bronchial stent SYO

trachealsilicone

It consists on a tracheo-carino-bronchial “Y” stent that has one of its bronchial branches completely occluded on its origin. Thereby, the stent satisfies a special function, allowing the ventilation from the healthy lung on patients with a postsurgical bronchopleural fistula or from other aetiologies and that require mechanical respiratory assistance. The occluded branch impedes the air flow loss through the vast communication with the pleural cavity. Indications: A right or left bronchopleural fistula, from any aetiology, with or without the MRA (Mechanical Respiratory Assistance) need A bronchopleural fistula accompanied by empyema on patients with a tube drainage or buleau. How to use: The manoeuvres needed for the implant of the standard Stening “Y” are described below, although it is not essential to use the special “Y” stent forceps, since this device has only one bronchial branch. The implant will be carried out then by introducing the stent inside a tracheoscope, to, afterwards, intubate the airway with the set. When loading the stent into the endoscope, the bronchial branch should be oriented in the direction that allows it to occupy in the airway the source bronchus or the affected stump. Once the patient is intubated, advance inside the trachea until you approach to the carina. The stent will then be pressed with a clamp, in order to force it to leave the tracheoscope and remain lodged in the trachea. The final position can be adjusted with the same forceps, so that the only bronchial branch of the stent is lodged within the chosen bronchus source.
