Robotic stent placement for cancer-related airway narrowing
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a robotic bronchoscopy system to help place a stent (a small tube) in the airway to keep it open for people with a narrowed airway caused by cancer. It aims to see if this method is safe and works well for improving breathing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- 18 years old or older
- Diagnosed with a narrowed airway in the chest caused by cancer
- Not eligible for surgery or choosing not to have surgery
- Need a stent to open the airway
- No current pregnancy or plans to become pregnant during the study
- No pacemaker or other active implanted device

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a procedure to widen a narrowed airway (not caused by cancer) using a silicone stent placed during a tube-based procedure called bronchoscopy. The goal is to see if this helps you breathe better and prevents infections behind the narrowing.
This trial studies a computer-planned, custom-made 3D stent to open up narrow, blocked areas of the main airway near the chest. It may help reduce breathing trouble and cough, and prevent complications from the blockage.
This trial tests a robotic bronchoscopy system to biopsy small lung nodules that are hard to reach with standard tools. It aims to help diagnose nodules that don't show a clear airway path on CT scans.
This study tests a robotic system that helps doctors perform heart stent procedures. It aims to see if the robot is safe and effective compared to standard care. Participating may give you access to this new technology.
This trial studies a new surgical robot that uses only one small opening in the chest to remove a lung segment or lobe. It aims to see if the robot is safe and effective for patients who need this type of surgery.
This trial is testing a new robot-assisted system for placing stents in blocked heart arteries. The robot may help the doctor be more precise, and you will be followed for 30 days after the procedure.
