Tracheal stents are often used to maintain the patency of the trachea and bronchia in patients suffering from central airway lesions. Metallic tracheal stents are now widely used in the clinical setting, but these types of stents can cause many intractable material-related complications. Biodegradable tracheal stents are made of biodegradable polymer materials with good mechanical strength for maintaining the patency of the lesion segment during a certain period of time, and then they can be gradually degraded into harmless products in human body. Compared with conventional metallic tracheal stent, biodegradable tracheal stents have a good prospect in clinic. In this article, we review the choice of biodegradable tracheal stent materials, experimental progress in biodegradable tracheal stent as well as the challenges we are facing.
