Malignant carinal stenosis is a disease process that is not always suitable for treatment with a Y-shaped stent. When one of the main bronchi is completely obstructed and cannot be recanalized, or its distal lung tissue has lost function, inserting a Y-shaped stent is infeasible. In this complex condition, a cone-shaped stent is selected to maintain the patency of the trachea and the other main bronchus. The efficacy of the bare cone-shaped Micro-Tech stent to treat malignant carinal stenosis was evaluated in the current study. The medical records of 47 patients with malignant carinal stenosis who underwent Micro-Tech stent placement between January 2004 and October 2017 in Beijing Tian Tan Hospital (Beijing, China) were analyzed retrospectively. A total of 47 bare Micro-Tech stents (28 Y-shaped and 19 cone-shaped) were successfully inserted in the patients. Following stent placement, immediate satisfactory results were achieved in all patients, especi...
