Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Book Chapter Description
Airway stenosis has many causes and can cause significant symptoms in some patients. Once identified, many interventions are available. A simple, safe, direct, inexpensive, repeatable, and rapidly effective option is balloon dilation, also called balloon bronchoplasty. Many balloon options are available, but all can be readily performed with the aid of bronchoscopy. Attention to the airway and experience combined with readily available equipment can lead to immediate symptomatic improvement. Dilation alone may prove sufficient but can also be combined with other modalities such as stenting or laser. At the least, dilation can improve the airway sufficiently to allow the time and stability to move on to more invasive techniques should they be required.
