Long-term survival of airway silicone stents in patients with central airway stenosis or obstruction due to thoracic malignancy

Silicone airway stents are used to manage central airway stenosis or obstruction, although their impact on long-term survival remains unknown in patients with central airway stenosis or obstruction due to thoracic malignancy. In this study, we retrospectively analyzed the impact of silicone stents on survival. We retrospectively analyzed clinical data of 106 patients with central airway stenosis or obstruction due to thoracic malignancy treated...
