Abstract

Recently, several authors have reported stenting into the right upper lobe bronchus using bifurcated stents, but little has been reported on stenting into the right middle or lower lobe bronchus. We report a case with metastatic uterine leiomyosarcoma, who was successfully treated by rigid bronchoscopic intervention, including silicone Y-stenting on the carina between the right middle lobe bronchus and the lower lobe bronchus.
