Pulmonary stent removal

The patient has a stent placed due to airway narrowing and obstruction. Unfortunately, excessive granulation tissue has formed over the stent, causing a recurrent narrowing in that area. We intend to remove this stent. Removing metal stents can be a challenging procedure, as demonstrated in this video performed for the patient. In the following discussion, you will see the explanations provided by Dr. Arda Kiani, a pulmonology subspecialist.
