1 Airway Simulation to Guide Stent Placement for Tracheobronchial Obstruction in Lung Cancer 
Joseph B Zwischenberger, Gerhard R Wittich, Eric vanSonnenberg, Raleigh F Johnson, Scott K Alpard, Sanjay K Anand, Robert J Morrison  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 64, Issue 6, Pages (December 1997) DOI: /S (97)

2 Fig. 1 Three-dimensional reconstruction of stenoses with proximal and distal airway measurements and length of stenotic region. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (97) )

3 Fig. 2 Bronchography of stenoses.
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (97) )

4 Fig. 3 Wallstent (top) and Gianturco stent (bottom).
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (97) )

5 Fig. 4 Sixty-four year old patient with bronchogenic carcinoma who presented with dyspnea. (A) Chest roentgenogram reveals a large mediastinal mass that surrounds and narrows the trachea to 5 mm in diameter. (B) A metallic stent (arrows) has been inserted that opens the trachea to 14 mm in diameter. The patient’s dyspnea subsequently resolved. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (97) )

6 Fig. 5 (A) Prestent computed tomographic scan at the level of the aortic arch showing a large mediastinal mass causing severe compromise of the airway with a high-grade stenosis (5-mm diameter) of the trachea. (B) Post-stent computed tomographic scan showing successful stent placement and patency of the trachea measuring 14 mm in diameter. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (97) )
