How Airway Stenting/Ablation/Debulking is performed
Completed under general anesthesia or sedation with rigid or flexible bronchoscope guidance. Based on the characteristics of the stenosis or mass, silicone or metal (covered/uncovered) stents can be selected for placement, or endoluminal debulking can be performed using thermal ablation, cryotherapy, argon plasma coagulation (APC), etc.; balloon dilation and suction cleaning can be combined if necessary.
