According to FutureWise analysis the market for airway or lung stents is expected to register a CAGR of 6.70% from 2025-2033.
An airway stent, also known as a tracheobronchial prosthesis, is a tube-shaped device with a specialized hollow lumen inserted into the airway and made from various materials. Their placement usually occurs bronchoscopically and is used to treat an array of large airway diseases. Its primary function is to provide support and ensure the openness of the tubular airway structure. This intervention can serve multiple purposes: It may prevent the extension of tumors into the airway, assist in the healing or management of airway fistulas, or provide reinforcement to the airway wall, preventing collapse or external compression.
Airway stenting is recommended for a range of both malignant and benign conditions. Regardless of the specific indication, the thoracic surgeon or interventional pulmonologist must confirm that the patient doesn't have surgically treatable airway disease before stent placement. In some cases, stenting may complicate or even rule out surgical options, particularly if it extends the lesion to over 4 cm in length, which is a commonly used limit for tracheal resection. Additionally, the placement of an airway stent can lead to local inflammation and mucosal damage that might hinder the healing process after airway resection and reconstruction. The primary reasons for stenting typically involve reducing external compression from tumors or lymphadenopathy, ensuring openness following bronchoscopic tumor removal due to internal obstruction, facilitating the healing of airway fistulas and anastomotic dehiscence post lung transplantation, and addressing specific cases of benign airway disease. As a general guideline, metallic stents are not the first-line treatment for patients with mild airway obstruction and should only be considered if all other options have been exhausted.
