Customised Dumon Y‐Stent With Reversed Orientation for Management of Complex Airway Obstruction in Endobronchial Non‐Small‐Cell Lung Cancer: Clinical Image of a Successful Airway Salvage

ABSTRACT A customised Dumon Y‐stent was successfully used to manage an obstructive, bleeding endobronchial non‐small‐cell lung cancer. Owing to the unusually sharp left main bronchus angle, the stent was reversed to achieve optimal anatomical alignment. The right limb was shortened and sealed, creat...

Description
Summary:ABSTRACT A customised Dumon Y‐stent was successfully used to manage an obstructive, bleeding endobronchial non‐small‐cell lung cancer. Owing to the unusually sharp left main bronchus angle, the stent was reversed to achieve optimal anatomical alignment. The right limb was shortened and sealed, creating a blind end. Airway patency was effectively maintained.
