Stenting Procedures

Airway stenting involves placing small tube-like devices (stents) to hold open airways that have become narrowed or blocked by disease processes. These stents act like scaffolding, keeping the airway open and making breathing easier. The procedure is typically performed during a bronchoscopy, with you under sedation or anesthesia.

While some patients have stents placed temporarily, others may need them long-term. Our team provides ongoing care to monitor the stent and ensure it continues to function properly, making adjustments or replacements as needed.
