Algorithm for the endoscopic management of central airway obstruction
This algorithm applies mostly to patients with central airway obstruction due to lung cancer, usually non-small cell lung cancer.
* Rigid bronchoscopy preferred. ¶ Careful airway evaluation and airway computed tomograpy scan, ± flexible bronchoscopy, ± endobronchial ultrasound, ± autofluorescence. Δ Possibly with presurgical endoscopic intervention. ◊ Silicone/new hybrid stents generally preferred. Treatment may be followed by radiation if appropriate. § Can be used singly or in combination, may need stenting.
