Comorbidities and Airway Prosthesis Dependence in Bilateral Vocal Fold Immobility
58% of PGS patients had additional stenosis beyond the glottis. These patients were younger and received more airway surgeries than iPGS or iBVFP patients, however there was no statistically significant difference in AP dependence or decannulation rate between the groups. Independent analysis of iPGS and PGS<sup>+</sup> elucidates the relative complexity of treating PGS patients with additional airway stenosis.
