Abstract
We report a case of a benign bronchial stenosis that presented clinically with recurrent respiratory infections and increasing dyspnoea. This was associated with transradiancy and oligaemia of the ipsilateral lung. Treatment with balloon bronchoplasty and self-expanding metal stents prevented recurrent pneumonia and led to a sustained improvement in exercise tolerance.Keywords
