Stent Migration and Replacement

Malignant Stenosis Right Main Bronchus - 62 y.o. Female
Patient Data
  Post-resection of the right upper lobe, obstruction in the Anastomosis causing Atelectasis.
  Interventional Procedure: laser procedure and stent placement.
Laser Procedure & Stent Placement
 
                                   
The first image generated by the VRIxp™ device demonstrates: 
  Severe diminution in the intensity and area of the  
   vibration  energy in the right lung with only residual  
   vibration energy there.  
Bronchoscopy images from left to right:  
  Tumor obstruction right main bronchus 
  Laser procedure 
  Stent placement 
Explanation:   this image by the VRIxp™ device reflects a reduction of vibration energy that can result from any of the  above.
1 Day Post-Initial Interventional Procedure, Stent Migration

                                  

The second image generated by the VRIxp™ device demonstrates: 
  Diminution of the vibration intensity of the whole left 
    lung
  Amputation in the middle lateral aspect of the right 
    lung  
 Bronchoscopy image:   
 Bifurcation obstruction 
Chest X-Ray:  
  Stent occlusion in the left main bronchus  
Explanation:   the image of the VRIxp™ device post-opening of the obstruction and the stent placement, demonstrated an improvement of the right lung, however an unexpected obstruction of the left lung emerged as a result of stent migration.
Post Stent Replacement

                                  
           

The last image generated by the VRIxp™ device demonstrates: 
  Overall improvement in vibration energy pattern
  Right & left lung more symmetrical   
Bronchoscopy image:   
  Replacement of the stent  
Chest X-Ray:  
  Correct stent positioning
Explanation:   the image of the VRIxp™ device indicates that the left lung regained its normal function and the right lung has improved compared to the baseline image, there is still a problem however in the right lower lung.
