Unfortunately, airways stents are associated with significant complications, such as stent migration, mucus plugging and stent-edge granulation tissue development [2].The ideal airway stent is still not available. Indications for 3D stents currently are limited to rare cases. Therefore, further research is required to investigate whether personalised airway stents will perform better than conventional stents. https://bit.ly/3GLjPa4 ER -
