FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, namely to oncology and can be used in treating central obstructing tracheal and bronchial tumours. A bare metal-frame endoprosthesis is implanted into the place of the obstructing tracheal and bronchial tumour to recanalise a tracheal or bronchial lumen. Observing a tumour tissue prolapse through an endoprosthesis wall requires performing an argon plasma coagulation procedure at power 35-45 Wt.

EFFECT: method enables reducing the number of complications and providing the fast and complete recovery of the external respiratory function, and relieving intoxication by an ability of the bare metal frame endoprosthesis to dilate the tumour tissue to a scheduled size and an ability to perform the argon plasma coagulation through its wall that makes it possible to use a low-activity delivery of argon.
