The article presents a generalized experience with treatment of 49 patients with malignant stenosis of the trachea complicated by respiratory insufficiency. Different methods of endoscopic recanalization of the stenosed portion of the trachea are analyzed. Factors are shown influencing the outcome of urgent restoration of patency of the respiratory pathways. Exact indications are proposed on carrying out self-locking stents in patients with malignant damage of the trachea, and the sequence of actions in patients with decompensated stenosis of the trachea of malignant nature.
