Micro-Tech Endoscopy has introduced the first self-expanding tracheobronchial nitinol y-stent. The Y-Shaped Tracheal Stent System is designed to be a flexible, compliant device to aid in the treatment ...

New research is poised to drastically improve the use of tracheal stents for children with airway obstruction. Researchers demonstrate for the first time the successful use of a completely ...

Pediatric laryngotracheal stenosis (LTS), a narrowing of the airway in children, is a complex medical condition. While it can be something a child is born with or caused by injury, the condition can ...

RUDN University scientists have created a drug-eluting coating for stents, which are implanted into the trachea in case of airway obstruction. This will help to reduce the damage caused by the stent ...

Airflow obstruction caused by a malignant tracheal tumor may be managed with a uniquely designed, 3-dimensional (3D) drug-eluting tracheal stent that, at least in animal models so far, works well and ...

When coronary blood vessels are constricted, cardiologists try to prevent a heart attack by widening them with small grid-like implants called stents, which stabilize the veins and arteries, improve ...

Obstruction of the airway causes substantial morbidity, and with the increased use of artificial airways, the incidence of tracheal stenosis is increasing. A tracheal defect that is shorter than 5 cm ...
