Abstract
Post resectional kinking of the lower lobe bronchus caused obstructive symptoms in 2 patients following upper lobectomy. Exaggerated upward displacement of the remaining lower lobe seemed to be causative. Intrabronchial stenting relieved the obstruction in each case with satisfactory intermediate term results.
