An 18-year-old @entity1 was evaluated for a chronic productive cough and @entity1353 . She was subsequently diagnosed with mediastinal @entity1893 ( @entity1893 ). A covered @entity1702 ( @entity1702 ) was implanted to relieve narrowing in for both main bronchi. The @entity1893 went into complete remission after six chemotherapy cycles, but atelectasis developed in the left lower lobe 18 months after @entity1702 insertion. The left main bronchus was completely occluded by granulation tissue. However, the right main bronchus and intermedius bronchus were patent. Granulation tissue was observed adjacent to the @entity1702 . The granulation tissue and the @entity1702 were excised, and a @entity1346 stent was successfully implanted using a rigid bronchoscope. @entity1702 is advantageous owing to its easy implantation, but there are considerable potential complications such as severe reactive granulation, stent @entity397 , and ventilation failure in serious cases. Therefore, @entity1702 should be avoided whenever possible in @entity1 with benign airway disease. This case highlights that @entity1702 implantation should be avoided even in malignant @entity1224 cases if the underlying malignancy is curable.
