Ideal candidates for bronchial stents are typically those who have significant airway obstruction due to tumors or scar tissue and are experiencing severe symptoms as a result. Patients who are not good candidates for surgery or other invasive procedures may also benefit from stenting. A thorough evaluation by a multidisciplinary team including oncologists, pulmonologists, and thoracic surgeons is essential to determine the suitability of a bronchial stent.
