Using a customizable L stent for laryngotracheal stenosis: Patterns of success and failure

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Background A recent innovation in the management of tracheostomy‐dependent patients with laryngotracheal stenosis (LTS) has been the customizable laryngotracheal stent, made by dividing a T‐tube in half (“L stent”). These L stents can be placed into the subglottis as well as the posterior glottis to prevent rapid re‐stenosis following surgery,
