1 From the Depts of Diagnostic Radiology (H.Y.S., S.G.K.), Internal Medicine (T.S.S., W.S.K.), and Biomedical Engineering (T.H.K., S.P.), Asan Medical Center, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, 388-1 Poongnap-Dong, Songpa-Ku, Seoul 138-736, Korea; Dept of Clothing and Textiles, Hansung University, Seoul, Korea (Y.M.A.); Dept of Diagnostic Radiology, College of Medicine, Kosin University, Pusan, Korea (G.S.J.); and Dept of Diagnostic Radiology, Yonsei University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea (D.Y.L.). From the 1998 RSNA scientific assembly. Received Dec 1, 1998; revision requested Jan 14, 1999; revision received Feb 19; accepted Jun 8. Supported in part by grant HMP-98-G-2-043 from the Highly Advanced National Project, Ministry of Health and Welfare, Republic of Korea. Address reprint requests to H.Y.S.

A polyurethane-covered retrievable expandable stent was placed in 13 patients with tracheobronchial strictures. In four patients with benign strictures, the stent was removed with use of a retrieval hook 2–6 months after placement. After stent removal, three of the four patients did not need further treatment. The retrievable stent warrants further investigation in the treatment of tracheobronchial strictures.
