Key Points

  • This research examines temporal trends in tracheobronchial stenting incidence and associated mortality rates in patients with central airway obstruction (CAO).
  • Analyzed national cohort data to track incidence and mortality rates over time.
  • Investigated regional variations in outcomes related to tracheobronchial stenting.
  • Defined indications for the procedure based on observed trends.
  • Reported an increase in both the incidence of tracheobronchial stenting and its associated in-hospital mortality.
  • Highlighted significant regional variations in stenting outcomes across the United States.
  • Emphasized the necessity for improved outcome tracking and indication definitions.

Abstract

Tracheobronchial stenting incidence and mortality for CAO have both increased over time. Regional variation and high in-hospital mortality highlight the need to better define indications and track outcomes of tracheobronchial stenting in patients with CAO.
