Study of Interventional Pulmonologic Treatment of Malignant Central Airway Stricture

November 20, 2014 updated by: Tang-Du Hospital

Prospective, Open, Multicenter Study of Interventional Pulmonologic Treatment of Malignant Central Airway Stricture

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of four interventional pulmonology techniques for the treatment of malignant central airway stricture.

The four techniques are:

  • cryotherapy
  • argon plasma coagulation
  • stent
  • snare

  • Allocation: Non-Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: cryotherapy
give the cases whose central airway stricture were caused by soft neoplasm tissues cryotherapy
use cryotherapy to delete soft neoplasm tissue in the airway
Experimental: argon plasma coagulation
give the cases whose central airway stricture were caused by hard neoplasm tissues argon plasma coagulation
use argon plasma coagulation to delete hard neoplasm tissue in the airway
Experimental: stent
give the cases whose central airway stricture were caused by neoplasm compression stent placement
use stent placement to open the airway compressed by out neoplasm
Experimental: snare
give the cases whose central airway stricture were caused by polypoid neoplasm tissues snare
use snare to delete polypoid neoplasm tissue in the airway
