Abstract

Objective: Severe airway stenosis caused by endobronchial tuberculosis (EBTB) often requires repeated interventional bronchoscopic procedures, complicating long-term airway management. This study aimed to evaluate the long-term efficacy of interventional bronchoscopy in the management of EBTB-related airway stenosis.
