Hydrophilic polymer coating improved airway injury and reduce mucous adhesion in silicone airway stents

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Airway stenting allows restoration of airway patency however associated airway injury and mucostasis can incur significant comorbidity and mortality. We aim to compare a coated stent vs non-coated stent in both degree of airway injury and mucostasis.
