Abstract

Currently interventional bronchoscopy is used for debulking, desobstruction and airway patency stabilization. The interventional techniques are being used for both benign and malignant cases. There are two types of stents that are currently being used, silicon and self-expandable metallic. The method of application and stent remains for the treating physician to choose. In the current case we will present a case of metastatic disease from ovarian cancer in the airway lumen and a long term follow-up.
