Fibrin glue to fix metallic airway stent
Abstract
Stent insertion is a palliative treatment for inoperable airway stenosis (1). The choice of appropriate stent is mandatory to preserve airway patency. Herein, we reported the use of fibrin glue (FG) to fill an unexpected gap in diameter between an undersized self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) and the left mainstem bronchus (LMB) after endoscopic recanalization for neoplastic stenosis.
