You are very welcome. This patient was very adamant that she wanted to help patients and practitioners alike, learn about this option. She was normal right after the dilation and would have had a tracheostomy under most circumstances.
OMG. Thank you for posting this video! I have atracheal stenosis caused by a tracheal web. I have had a laser with dilation and mitomycin-c application (in Nov 2010) and I am going back to the surgeon for another one because the web grew back together. I have a few "online" friends with tracheal stenosis that get dilations about every 3 months and one had tracheal resection. SO many people don't know about tracheal stenosis (and is often overlooked as asthma as in my case for 3 yrs). Thanks
