Outcomes of airway stenting for advanced lung cancer with central airway obstruction.
Approximately 30% of lung cancer patients will develop central airway obstruction (CAO). Interventional therapeutic bronchoscopy including airway stenting (AS) providing immediate and effective palliation is therefore essential to improve quality of life (QoL). However, no report has demonstrated the survival benefit of AS. We retrospectively reviewed 65 patients with CAO due to lung cancer who...
متن کاملon-Malignant Central Airway Obstruction
The most common causes of non-malignant central airway obstruction are post-intubation and posttracheostomytracheal stenosis, followed by the presence of foreign bodies, benign endobronchial tumors and tracheobronchomalacia. Other causes, such as infectious processes or systemic diseases, are less frequent. Despite the existence of numerous classification systems, a consensus has not been reach...

متن کاملIndications of airway stenting for severe central airway obstruction due to advanced cancer
BACKGROUND Management of severe central airway obstruction due to advanced cancer is a medical and technical challenge. The impact of airway stenting on the clinical outcome of such patients is unclear. METHOD This single-center, retrospective study evaluated 21 patients who underwent airway stenting for advanced cancer. We examined predictors of the post-stenting mortality, including age, se...
متن کاملVentilatory techniques for central airway obstruction.
INTRODUCTION Central airway obstruction (CAO) refers to obstruction involving the trachea, mainstem, or lobar bronchi. These lesions can be either benign or malignant. Obstruction of these areas may lead to dyspnea, atelectasis, post-obstructive pneumonia, and death. Treatment options to relieve CAO include airway dilation, laser techniques, cryotherapy, and stenting. CAO is becoming more preva...
