Abstract
Introduction: Subglottic stenosis, manifested by granulation tissue hyperplasia, is challenging and requires multiple repeated treatments and stent maintenance at times. Corticosteroids prevent severe subglottic stenosis development owing to their antifibrotic and anti-inflammatory properties. Submucosal injection of glucocorticoids, a useful adjuvant therapeutic method, improves the mean interval between endoscopic procedures and reduces airway restenosis risks.
Case presentation: We report a rare case of a man with complex subglottic stenosis who underwent balloon dilatation combined with cryotherapy, stent placement, and adjuvant submucosal triamcinolone injection. The drug was injected efficiently and safely into the submucosal layer under percutaneous ultrasound guidance, and subglottic stenosis was well-controlled at a low cost.
Conclusion: POCUS-guided medication injections may be a useful adjuvant medical therapy for subglottic stenosis.
期刊介绍：
''Respiration'' brings together the results of both clinical and experimental investigations on all aspects of the respiratory system in health and disease. Clinical improvements in the diagnosis and treatment of chest and lung diseases are covered, as are the latest findings in physiology, biochemistry, pathology, immunology and pharmacology. The journal includes classic features such as editorials that accompany original articles in clinical and basic science research, reviews and letters to the editor. Further sections are: Technical Notes, The Eye Catcher, What’s Your Diagnosis?, The Opinion Corner, New Drugs in Respiratory Medicine, New Insights from Clinical Practice and Guidelines. ''Respiration'' is the official journal of the Swiss Society for Pneumology (SGP) and also home to the European Association for Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology (EABIP), which occupies a dedicated section on Interventional Pulmonology in the journal. This modern mix of different features and a stringent peer-review process by a dedicated editorial board make ''Respiration'' a complete guide to progress in thoracic medicine.
