Figure 6. Lateral radiographic views of the trachea in a rabbit model before and after stenting. (a) The pre-stenting diameter of the normal cervical trachea. (b) The post-stenting (D-type with a wire diameter of 0.007 inches)diameter of the cervical trachea. (c) Boxplot of differences between the pre- and post-stentingdiameters (mm) for groups A, B, and C. The difference was the greatest in group C (p<0.05).
