ABSTRACT
Abnormalities associated with phosphate metabolism can lead to thoracic deformities that result in respiratory failure, which is conventionally managed by means of supplemental oxygenation, positive airway pressure and physiotherapy. However, when these measures fail, the clinician faces a dilemma, since many patients cannot tolerate a major surgical procedure. A minimally invasive technique, insertion of an endobronchial stent, might offer a solution.
