Abstract
Airway stenosis may occur in both benign and malignant diseases, but is most often due to lung cancer. Stent placement is carried out properly with the use of the flexible and/or rigid bronchoscopes. Close cooperation of respiratory physician, respiratory surgeon, radiologist, and anesthesiologists is essential.
