Stent placement is recommended for patients with airway stenosis. However, ready-made stents may be difficult to fit over lesioned areas. In the current case report, we describe the creation and placement of a custom stent in an 84-year-old woman with airway stenosis. We made a bronchial mould and customized stent with a three-dimensional printer and flexible filaments. This stent was able to successfully maintain our patient's airway patency.
对于气道狭窄患者,建议进行支架置入。然而,现成的支架可能难以贴合病变区域。在本病例报告中,我们描述了为一名84岁气道狭窄女性制作并置入定制支架的过程。我们使用三维打印机和柔性细丝制作了支气管模具和定制支架。该支架成功维持了患者的气道通畅。
