The authors present a 59-year-old woman with a history of asthma, episodes of bronchospasm, and multiple ICU readmissions requiring orotracheal intubation. After a trial period with a tracheobronchial Y-shaped silicone stent (DumonTM stent), a tracheobronchoplasty was indicated as a definitive surgical treatment. The objective of surgery was to stabilize and add rigidity to the membranous wall of the trachea in order to prevent intrusion of the membranous wall into the lumen of the airway.
