Interventional radiology in the airway in children

Derek J Roebuck et al. Paediatr Anaesth. 2020 Mar.

Abstract

Interventional procedures in the airway can be performed in interventional radiology suites or the operating room, by radiologists or other specialists. The most common therapeutic interventions carried out by radiologists are balloon dilatation, stenting, and the treatment of certain airway fistulas. These operations can be very challenging for anesthetists in terms of planning, airway management, the identification and treatment of procedural complications and postoperative care. In particular, a multidisciplinary approach to decision-making and planning is important to obtain the best results.

Keywords: anesthesia; interventional radiology; stents; trachea.
