American Association of Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology Essential Knowledge in Interventional Pulmonology Series: Selected Topics in Airway Stenting.

The goal of the American Association of Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology Essential Knowledge in Interventional Pulmonology Series is to provide clinicians with concise, up-to-date reviews of important topics in the field of interventional pulmonology. This 3-year alternating rotation of primary topics continues with the current discussion of selected concepts in bronchoscopic airway stenting. In this article, we update the reader on modern airway stenting practice in 3 parts: part 1- a data review of the therapeutic benefit of stenting in different clinical scenarios; part 2- an overview of stent-associated complications and initial postinsertion stent management; and part 3- new and evolving approaches to airway stenting. This review complements the Essential Knowledge in Interventional Pulmonology Lecture Series presented at the 2024 AABIP Annual Conference, available for viewing on the AABIP website (https://aabip.memberclicks.net/essential-knowledge-in-interventional-pulmonology-series).
