We report about a male 50-year-old patient with known non-small cell lung cancer and tumor-associated stenosis of the right main bronchus already treated with Neodym-YAG-laser coagulation. Eight months later the patient was readmitted to hospital and revealed complete occlusion of the right main bronchus and subtotal stenosis of the distal trachea and the left main bronchus. Conventional tracheobronchoscopy failed to visualize the post-stenotic parts of the left main bronchus due to the length and degree of stenosis. Multidetector-CT-generated virtual tracheobronchoscopy was able to demonstrate complete intraluminal tumor extent thus making precise pre-interventional measurements for stent implantation possible. Furthermore, post-interventional re-evaluation by virtual tracheobronchoscopy confirmed correct position and patency of the stent located within the distal trachea and the left main bronchus. Our case report demonstrates a non-invasive and easy approach for evaluating the tracheobronchial system in a patient with tumor-associated airway stenosis including the possibility for viewing beyond post-stenotic segments.
