Treatment of airway stenosis with a customized bronchial stent using a three‐dimensional printer and flexible filaments

Stent placement is recommended for patients with airway stenosis. However, ready‐made stents may be difficult to fit over lesioned areas. In the current case report, we describe the creation and placement of a custom stent in an 84‐year‐old woman with airway stenosis. We made a bronchial mould and c...

description Stent placement is recommended for patients with airway stenosis. However, ready‐made stents may be difficult to fit over lesioned areas. In the current case report, we describe the creation and placement of a custom stent in an 84‐year‐old woman with airway stenosis. We made a bronchial mould and customized stent with a three‐dimensional printer and flexible filaments. This stent was able to successfully maintain our patient's airway patency.
