Tracheal and Bronchial Stent Placement

Tracheal and bronchial stent placement is a medical procedure used to open and support airways in the lungs. When airways become narrowed or blocked due to conditions like tumors or inflammation, doctors can insert a small, tube-like device called a stent. This stent holds the airway open, allowing for better airflow and easier breathing. The procedure is typically done through the mouth or nose using specialized tools and guided by imaging. It's a minimally invasive way to relieve symptoms and improve the quality of life for individuals with respiratory issues.
