The use of endobronchial stents in IcelandCitation
Læknablaðið 2006, 92(6):447-50Abstract
Diseases that cause progressive obstruction of the larger airways are commonly encountered in pulmonary medicine. Even slight narrowing of the larger airways can cause intense symptoms and sometimes be life-threatening. In recent years progress has been made in endobronchial intervention procedures. A range of technologies has been developed to obtain and maintain patency of the bronchial lumen in disease. This article briefly describes the current use of these methods in Iceland and in some detail the use of stents in airways. The placement of a bronchial stent is a fairly simple procedure that can, if properly indicated, significantly relief symptoms.Sjúkdómar sem valda viðvarandi þrengingu á berkjum eru algengt viðfangsefni lungnalækna. Jafnvel minniháttar þrengsli í barka eða berkjum geta valdið verulegum einkennum og stundum lífsháska. Á undanförnum árum hefur orðið nokkur þróun í aðgerðum á berkjum gegnum berkjuspeglun. Ýmis tækni er nú notuð til að opna og varðveita hol berkju. Þessi grein lýsir stuttlega stöðu þessara mála á Íslandi og nokkru nánar útfærslu á einni þessara aðferða. Ísetning á stoðneti í berkju er tiltölulega einföld aðgerð sem getur við rétta ábendingu veitt verulega bót einkenna.
