Abstract
An expandable metal stent was inserted to relieve bronchial obstruction following lobectomy for localised squamous carcinoma which had not been relieved by bronchoplasty with a Goretex flap. This resulted in substantial improvement in lung function and exercise tolerance for nine months, following which severe inflammation around the stents required residual pneumonectomy.
