“…Many factors can influence stent selection in dogs with tracheal collapse; therefore, knowledge of the design and properties of individual stents is mandatory (Sun et al 2008). Intraluminal stents to be used for the management of collapsing trachea should exhibit sufficient fatigue resistance, flexibility and conformability to enable support of the tracheal lumen since various mechanical forces including radial compression, longitudinal extension, flexion and torsion can be exerted on the trachea (Sun et al 2008).…”

“…Intraluminal stents to be used for the management of collapsing trachea should exhibit sufficient fatigue resistance, flexibility and conformability to enable support of the tracheal lumen since various mechanical forces including radial compression, longitudinal extension, flexion and torsion can be exerted on the trachea (Sun et al 2008). The trachea in dogs most often collapses at the thoracic inlet where the trachea bends to enter the thoracic cavity; therefore, in dogs with tracheal collapse, mechanical forces including radial compression can be exerted most strongly on the trachea at the thoracic inlet (Mittleman et al 2004).…”

“…Tracheal collapse is a progressive disorder of the airway characterised by laxity of the dorsal tracheal membrane, chondromalacia and collapse of cartilage rings in middle-aged small and toy dogs, resulting in airway obstruction (Gellasch et al 2002;Moritz et al 2004;Sun et al 2008). Collapsed trachea initiates 'honking' cough, which can lead to life-threatening conditions including severe respiratory distress, cyanosis, and syncope (Fossum 2007;Durant et al 2012).…”

“…Various surgical techniques have been described, including plication of the dorsal tracheal membrane, tracheal ring chondrotomy, extraluminal prostheses and intraluminal stents (Buback et al 1996;Ayres and Holmberg 1999;Moritz et al 2004). Compared with conventional surgical techniques, intraluminal tracheal stenting has many advantages, including minimal invasiveness, immediate improvement in clinical signs and shorter anaesthetic, surgery and recovery times; however, fractured stents have been described as a major complication (Mittleman et al 2004;Woo et al 2007;Sun et al 2008). Although studies of various intraluminal stents have been reported in Supported by the Konkuk University, Republic of Korea in 2015.…”

A 2.7 kg, 11-year-old, castrated male Maltese dog was presented for evaluation of a 2-year history of intractable coughing, dyspnoea and cyanosis. A diagnosis of tracheal collapse with myxomatous mitral valve disease was made on the basis of inspiratory and expiratory thoracic radiographs, fluoroscopy and echocardiography. Measurement for stent size selection was performed on thoracic radiographs. A 10 mm (diameter) × 70 mm (length) self-expanding double-wire woven uncovered nitinol stent was used for intratracheal implantation and was deployed under fluoroscopic guidance. On thoracic radiography seven days after surgery, the position of the stent remained unchanged. On presentation six months after surgery, the owner reported that the dog was doing well without medical management. Although studies of various intraluminal stents have been reported in dogs, to the authors' knowledge, use of a double-wire woven uncovered nitinol stent has not been reported previously for the management of a dog with tracheal collapse. Since this particular type of stent with unfixed individual cells provided proper airway patency without stent fracture in the dog in this report, this stent might be used as an alternative to other commercially available nitinol stents in cases of thoracic inlet collapse.

“…In veterinary medicine, there are few clinical reports about using the metallic stent in tracheal collapse [13,21,22]. Placement of metallic stents produced an immediate improvement in clinical signs but also had potentially lifethreatening complications, such as fracture or migration of the stents [12,17,22,24].…”

ABSTRACT. The goal of this study was to prove the possibility of using silicone stents broadly used for human medicine in canine obstructive tracheal disease. A silicone stent anatomically designed for canine trachea was tested on 5 beagle dogs for 8 weeks. The stent was carefully inserted using a newly developed delivery device under fluoroscopic guidance. There were no technical difficulties in placing the stent during the procedure. Previously reported complications of airway stenting such as stent migration or granulation tissue formation did not occur in any of the cases. In addition, removal of the stent was as simple as inserting it, and complications were absent. The stent introduced in this study could possibly be applied to various canine obstructive tracheal diseases.
