Hydrophilic polymer coating improved airway injury and reduce mucous adhesion in silicone airway stents
Airway stenting allows restoration of airway patency however associated airway injury and mucostasis can incur significant comorbidity and mortality. We aim to compare a coated stent vs non-coated stent in both degree of airway injury and mucostasis.
