Airway stenting is a critical intervention for managing tracheal obstruction, particularly in patients with conditions such as malignancies, benign stenosis, and post-tuberculosis complications.

Airway stents, similar to vascular stents, are devices designed to keep tubular structures open and stable. Airway stents are intended for placement in the central tracheobronchial tree.

Recent research has focused on various aspects of airway complications, including the use of stents, the identification of risk factors, and the effectiveness of different interventions.

especially when airway stents are utilized to alleviate central airway obstructions in lung cancer and other diseases. Mucus conditions are particularly important as biomarkers for inflammation ...
