Mechanical interactions between airway stents and the airway wall: biomechanics, complications, and design optimization

Abstract Airway stents are indispensable tools for managing central airway stenosis, tracheomalacia, and tracheoesophageal fistula. However, their long-term clinical efficacy remains bottlenecked by recurrent complications, including migration, granulation tissue hyperplasia, str...
