Airway stenting ( Silicone & SEMS )

Airway stents are also called as tracheobronchial prostheses. They are tube-shaped devices with a hollow lumen that are placed into an airway. They are usually placed bronchoscopically and can be used to treat a variety of large airway diseases.

Silicone stents are folded and inserted in the airways through a dedicated metallic device inserted into the rigid bronchoscope, distally to the stenosis and then pulled back in the desired position using rigid forceps. These stents, assuming that the interventional pulmonologist (IP)in Hyderabad is trained at rigid bronchoscopy, are easy to place and remove, are well tolerated, offer a marked vault effect and cause less granulation tissue reaction than others. Another major advantage is the possibility of on-site customization based on bronchoscopic and computed tomography (CT) measurements.

Self-expandable metallic stents (SEMS) can be used to treat malignant obstructions and fistulas of the central airways. SEMS can be placed using different methods. A rigid bronchoscope has been utilized for stent placement without the need for fluoroscopy.
