For severe malignant airway stenosis, there are several types of commercially available airway stents, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. We herein describe the safety and efficacy of combination stenting with silicone and metallic stents for patients with extended malignant airway stenosis. Seven patients with malignant airway stenosis were treated via combination stenting with a silicone stent and a metallic stent for extended airway stenosis from the central to peripheral airways. Five patients were diagnosed with advanced esophageal cancer, two of whom had tracheoesophageal fistulas. One patient had adenoid cystic carcinoma, and another had mediastinal tumor. There were no specific complications related to the double stenting. Combination stenting with silicone and metallic stents proved to be a safe option for patients with severe, extended, and complicated malignant airway stenosis.
