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 ...

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 ...

Airway stenting has emerged as a critical intervention for managing tracheal obstructions arising from both malignant and benign conditions. These devices are designed to maintain airway patency, ...

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 ...

New research published in Communications Biology and led by the University of Pittsburgh is poised to drastically improve the use of stents, demonstrating for the first time the successful use of a ...

Researchers demonstrate for the first time the successful use of a completely biodegradable magnesium-alloy tracheal stent, pictured, that safely degrades over the course of eight weeks and does not ...

For patients with an injured or compromised trachea, the insertion of a stent is often required in order to keep their airway open. A new type of airway stent should remain in place better than others ...

In a difficult and dramatic surgery, doctors at Children's Hospital 2 in Ho Chi Minh City simultaneously treated a 5-year-old ...

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 ...
