A retrospective study of silicone stent placement for management of anastomotic airway complications in lung transplant recipients: Short- and long-term outcomes

Silicone stents allow clinical and lung function improvement in patients with LT-related airway complications. Stent-related complications were of mild to moderate severity, and were appropriately managed endoscopically. Permanent resolution of airway stenosis was obtained in most patients, allowing definitive stent removal without recurrence.
