Fig. 4 Sixty-four year old patient with bronchogenic carcinoma who presented with dyspnea. (A) Chest roentgenogram reveals a large mediastinal mass that surrounds and narrows the trachea to 5 mm in diameter. (B) A metallic stent (arrows) has been inserted that opens the trachea to 14 mm in diameter. The patient’s dyspnea subsequently resolved. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery , DOI: ( /S (97) )

Fig. 5 (A) Prestent computed tomographic scan at the level of the aortic arch showing a large mediastinal mass causing severe compromise of the airway with a high-grade stenosis (5-mm diameter) of the trachea. (B) Post-stent computed tomographic scan showing successful stent placement and patency of the trachea measuring 14 mm in diameter. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery , DOI: ( /S (97) )
