Abstract
Tracheobronchial malignant stenosis is a life-threatening and challenging condition. In inoperable patients, a stent is the mainstay treatment to ensure ventilation. Here, we report the use of a fully covered standard conical self-expandable metallic stent as an emergency treatment for complex tracheobronchial malignant stenosis.
