What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Improvement in Dyspnea using Hugh-Jones classication as criteria

    Hugh-Jones classication: dyspnea scale that includes 5 categories.

    Time frame: 3 days

  2. Stent patency time

    Stent patency time is defined as the time from the stent implantation to stent restenosis or death due to any cause, or censored at date last known alive.

    Time frame: 2 months

  3. Overall survival

    OS is defined as the time from the stent implantation to death due to any cause, or censored at date last known alive.

    Time frame: 6 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of participants with adverse events that are related to stent implantation

    Adverse events as follows: migration of the stent, severe chest pain, hemoptysis, granuloma formation, pneumonia and accumulation of secretion

    Time frame: 2 months
