Topical endotracheal mitomycin C as a complementary treatment for endoscopic treatment of recurrent laryngotracheal stenosis.
Farmacia Hospitalaria 2011 January
OBJECTIVE: To describe the preparation of topical endotracheal mitomycin C and the clinical outcomes of four patients with recurrent and severe laryngotracheal stenosis (LTS) treated with adjuvant topical mitomycin C.
METHOD: Literature review to determine the concentration and method of preparation of topical mitomycin C for endotracheal use. Review of clinical histories.
RESULTS: We established a concentration of 0.4 mg/ml topical mitomycin C for the treatment of laryngotracheal stenosis. In the treated cases, we applied a 0.4 mg/ml solution to the wound site following laser surgery and dilatation with bronchoscope. Three patients remain asymptomatic from a respiratory perspective, and treatment failed in one case.
CONCLUSIONS: LTS treatment is complex due to the continuous development of granulation tissue and fibrosis following injury to the airways. Topical mitomycin C seems to be the ideal adjuvant agent thanks to its powerful antifibrotic effects.
