![]() | Media file 19: This resected tracheal segment shows internal and external changes that were secondary to prolonged endotracheal intubation. |
![]() | Media file 20: This photo shows a resected tracheal segment (same segment as in Image 19). |
![]() | Media file 21: This stenotic tracheal segment was obtained from a patient who underwent surgical resection and end-to-end anastomosis. |
![]() | Media file 22: This resected tracheal segment is the same as that in Image 21. |
![]() | Media file 23: This resected tracheal segment demonstrates a luminal obstruction that is greater than 90%. |
![]() | Media file 24: This video demonstrates the results of rigid direct laryngoscopy and flexible tracheal endoscopy in a patient with significant tracheal stenosis. |
![]() | Media file 25: This video demonstrates the 90º endoscopic view in 2 patients with tracheal stenosis. |
![]() | Media file 26: This video of a 90º endoscopic tracheal view was obtained from a patient with postintubation tracheal stenosis. |
![]() | Media file 27: This video demonstrates the 90º endoscopic view in 2 patients with tracheal stenosis. |
