Central airway obstruction affects a significant proportion of lung cancer patients, often requiring airway stenting for symptom palliation and improved quality of life. Silicone endobronchial stents are effective in malignant obstructions due to their tumor anchoring properties however, tumor shrinkage with systemic therapies may result in stent migration.
