Airway Stenting

Airway stenting is a medical procedure where a small, tube-like device called a stent is placed in the airway to help keep it open. This is often done for patients who have narrowed or blocked airways due to conditions like tumors, inflammation, or injury. The stent acts as a support structure, allowing easier breathing and improving airflow. The procedure can be performed using flexible instruments, often under sedation, and aims to relieve symptoms and enhance the quality of life for those with breathing difficulties.
