Airway stenting is an interventional bronchoscopy procedure in which a small tubular scaffold, called a stent, is placed inside a narrowed or blocked airway to restore normal airflow. It is performed by an interventional pulmonologist using a bronchoscope — a thin flexible or rigid tube passed through the mouth into the airway under sedation or general anaesthesia. The procedure is used to treat narrowing caused by lung or oesophageal cancer pressing on the windpipe, post-intubation scarring, airway collapse (tracheomalacia), tuberculosis-related strictures, or complications after lung transplantation. Depending on the cause and location of the obstruction, the doctor may choose a silicone stent, a self-expanding metallic stent, a covered metallic stent, or a Y-shaped stent. Most patients experience rapid relief of breathlessness after stenting; hospital stay typically ranges from one to several days, followed by a structured follow-up plan with the interventional pulmonology team.
Estimated cost: ~$500 – $1,000
