Abstract
Accurate placement of tracheobronchial stents is essential, since little ad justment can be made once the stent is deployed. We describe the use of an inexpensive tool, a radio-opaque ruler, to aid in the proper positioning of tracheobronchial stents. (C) 2000 by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons.
