  • Title: A Novel Method for Insertion of the Straight Metallic Tracheal Stent.
    Author: Prasad KT, Ram B, Sehgal IS, Dhooria S, Agarwal R.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2016 Oct; 102(4):e379-81. PubMed ID: 27645990.
    Abstract:
    A straight metallic tracheal stent can be inserted either during flexible or rigid bronchoscopy. However, in patients with significant airway obstruction or those requiring tumor debulking, rigid bronchoscopy is the method of choice. A tracheoscope size 12 or larger is generally required for the introduction of the straight metallic tracheal stent. Herein, we describe a novel method that facilitates the introduction of the straight metallic tracheal stent through a size 8.5 tracheoscope by using the introducer tube of the silicone stent applicator.
