#FistulaFriday When malignancy and radiation injury affect surrounding tissues, the resulting complications can present unique challenges for airway management. This case involves a patient with colorectal cancer, malignancy, and radiation-related injury, highlighting the complexity that can arise when multiple factors contribute to a fistula. Every case brings its own set of challenges, making a thorough understanding of the patient's anatomy essential when developing an individualized airway solution. #FistulaFriday #AirwayCare #PatientSpecific #StentDesign #InterventionalPulmonology

#MalaciaMonday Patient-specific airway stents can serve different purposes depending on a patient's needs and treatment goals. In cases of extensive tracheobronchomalacia (TBM), a stent trial may help physicians assess whether airway stabilization improves symptoms before considering further treatment options. For other patients, stenting may be considered as part of a palliative approach focused on symptom relief and quality of life. This case features a long tracheal stent extending into both mainstem bronchi, illustrating how a customized design can accommodate complex airway anatomy. Every patient has a different clinical picture, and treatment decisions are guided by individual needs and goals. #MalaciaMonday #TBM #AirwayCare #PatientSpecific #InterventionalPulmonology

#FistulaFriday When malignancy leads to a fistula between the airway and esophagus, achieving an effective seal can be a complex challenge. In this case, patient-specific stent design offers an opportunity to tailor the device to the patient's unique airway anatomy, with careful attention to the area of leakage and the surrounding structures. Cases like this demonstrate why understanding each patient's anatomy matters when approaching complex airway conditions. #FistulaFriday #AirwayCare #Malignancy #CustomStent #StentDesign

📢 BIG NEWS 📢 We’re excited to share that our first VisionAir Enhanced Stock Stent has been placed at Tampa General Hospital! The Enhanced Stock Stent was developed using real airway data to create an off-the-shelf silicone stent designed to better accommodate the natural anatomy of the airway. While we’re still in the early stages of our alpha launch, seeing the first Enhanced Stock Stent placed in a patient marks a major milestone for VisionAir Solutions. We’re incredibly grateful to the Tampa General team for being part of this milestone and for helping us take the next step in bringing this technology to the field. More to come!! #VisionAirSolutions #AirwayStenting #InterventionalPulmonology #EnhancedStockStent #MedicalDevices

One of the questions we wanted to better understand was: How does mucus move across different silicone airway stent surfaces? At AABIP, we presented our study evaluating mucus transport across commercially available silicone stent surfaces and novel anti-adhesion coatings. Using gravity testing and a cough simulation model, we looked at mucus movement across different surfaces and also evaluated coating durability after repeated use and cleaning. Research like this helps us better understand the interaction between an airway stent and the airway environment—and gives us another opportunity to explore how stent surface properties can impact performance. We were excited to present this work at AABIP and share what we learned with fellow physicians and researchers in the interventional pulmonology community. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our poster and took the time to discuss the study with us! #AABIP #AirwayStents #InterventionalPulmonology #Pulmonology #MedicalResearch #Innovation #AirwayManagement

We loved having the Stanford team stop by our booth at AABIP. We spent some time talking about VisionAir, our patient-specific 3D stents, and especially what’s ahead for our Enhanced Stock Stent following its recent FDA clearance. The Enhanced Stock Stent is an exciting new chapter for VisionAir, and conversations like these help us think about how we can continue expanding solutions for physicians treating complex airway disease. A huge thank you to the Stanford team for taking the time to talk with us! We always appreciate the opportunity to hear directly from physicians and staff about their experiences, questions, and ideas. Lots to be excited about — and we’re just getting started! 🚀 #AABIP #VisionAir #AirwayStents #InterventionalPulmonology #Pulmonology #MedicalInnovation #AirwayCare

In case you didn’t notice… we brought a little more of the VisionAir team to AABIP this year! 👀 For the first time in a while, we had more than two team members representing VisionAir at the conference, and it was exciting to have more of our team there to connect with the physicians we work with, meet new faces, and experience more of the interventional pulmonology community firsthand. AABIP is always a great opportunity to learn, connect, and hear directly from the physicians and teams who inspire what we do. Here’s to more conferences, more connections, and more of the VisionAir team getting out there! 🙌 #VisionAir #AABIP #InterventionalPulmonology #AirwayCare

🎉 A NEW VISIONAIR MILESTONE! 🎉 We’re so excited to celebrate our first VisionAir Patient-Specific 3D Stent case in the state of Vermont! The team at the University of Vermont recently completed their very first Patient-Specific 3D Stent case making this a pretty special first for both their team and VisionAir. 🙌 A huge shoutout to Dr. Chris Yurosko and his incredible team for taking this step with us! We’re so grateful for their trust in VisionAir and loved getting to be part of this milestone. Can't wait to see what is to come in the future! #VisionAir #PatientSpecificStent #3DStent #Bronchoscopy #AirwayManagement #Vermont

#MalaciaMonday This case highlights an airway affected by both malacia—weakening of the airway cartilage leading to airway collapse—and stenosis, a narrowing of the airway lumen. To address these dual challenges, a patient-specific right mainstem 3D stent was designed to precisely match the patient's anatomy. The customized design provides structural support to help prevent airway collapse while also maintaining airway patency through the stenotic segment. When multiple airway pathologies are present, a tailored solution can address each challenge simultaneously and help optimize patient care. #AirwayCare #Malacia #Stenosis #StentDesign #PatientSpecific #InterventionalPulmonology

#MalignancyMonday This case highlights a malignant airway requiring occlusion of the right upper lobe. The complexity of the anatomy called for a highly customized approach, with the stent carefully designed to follow the patient's airway curvature while achieving the desired occlusion. Patient-specific design allows physicians to tailor the device to the anatomy and treatment goals of each individual case—something that can be difficult to accomplish with standard, off-the-shelf solutions. #AirwayCare #MalignancyMonday #Custom #StentDesign #InterventionalPulmonology

📈 Mid-Year Stent Placement Snapshot As we reach the halfway point of 2026, we took a look at where patient-specific stents have been designed most frequently. This year's breakdown: 🟣 56% – Trachea/Main Carina 🟣 23% – Left Main 🟣 20% – Right Main One trend that stood out? We've seen more tracheal stent designs this year compared to the same point in 2025, increased by almost 10%. Every order represents a unique patient and a unique airway, making it interesting to see how these trends change from year to year. 💬 Share your thoughts below #PatientSpecific #Stents #Pulmonology #Airway

#FistulaFriday This case involves a patient presenting with a fistula secondary to complications at a surgical anastomosis. These cases can be particularly challenging, often requiring a highly tailored approach to achieve an effective seal while accommodating complex airway anatomy. A patient-specific stent was designed to conform closely to the airway, providing targeted coverage at the site of the defect and supporting the physician's treatment strategy. #Fistula #PatientSpecific #AirwayCare
