Laryngeal and tracheal stents are crucial in managing complex airway conditions, offering mechanical support, and preventing collapse in patients with stenosis, tumors, or scar tissue. While congenital and acquired factors contribute to laryngotracheal pathologies, various treatment approaches, including endoscopic stent placement, aim to alleviate airway obstruction. Many types of stents exist, each with its indications and complications. Proper stent selection is paramount to optimizing patient outcomes.This activity for healthcare professionals reviews the diverse causes of laryngotracheal conditions, explores endoscopic and open stenting procedures, and addresses associated complications. The activity also highlights the important role of the interprofessional healthcare team in improving outcomes for patients with laryngotracheal stenosis who require mechanical stenting.
