Abstract

Airway stenting can be a life-preserving intervention in patients with critical airway obstruction. It may be safely performed using flexible bronchoscopy under conscious sedation as a day-case procedure in selected patients, but a high incidence of complications limits its use to palliation of malignancy or bridging treatment in benign disease.
