A novel bioabsorbable drug-eluting tracheal stent

A novel bioabsorbable drug-eluting tracheal stent

Currently available silicone and metallic stents for tracheal stenosis are associated with problems of granulations, mucus trapping, and difficult removals. Our aim was to develop a novel bioabsorbable tracheal stent with mitomycin C (MMC) drug elution to circumvent such problems.
