Metal wire expandable stents are increasingly being used to alleviate tracheal obstruction due to malignancies. Patients usually tolerate these stents well and experience good to excellent palliation of their symptoms [1]. We report a case in which severe tracheal obstruction occurred 5 days after placement of a Wallstent, caused by formation of fibrinoid plaques at the proximal end of the stent.
