Tracheal replacement by autogenous aorta
BACKGROUND Tracheal defects may occur after trauma or prolonged intubation. Resection of tracheal tumors also poses a major challenge for substitution. In an effort to solve this problem, different techniques have been tried with little success. We report on a new animal model which showed acceptable results with fewer complications. METHODS We replaced 5 cm of cervical trachea in 10 dogs wit...
متن کاملTwenty years of experience with the rabbit model, a versatile model for tracheal transplantation research
Pathologies comprising more than half the length of the trachea are a challenge to the reconstructive surgeon. Innovative tracheal transplantation techniques aim to offer the patient a curative solution with a sustained improvement in quality of life. This review summarizes the authors’ experience with the rabbit as a versatile model for research regarding tracheal transplantation. Because of t...
متن کاملTracheal Self-Expandable Metallic Stents: A Comparative Study of Three Different Stents in a Rabbit Model.
INTRODUCTION The objective of this study was to assess tracheal reactivity after the deployment of different self-expandable metal stents (SEMS). MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty female New Zealand rabbits were divided into four groups. Three groups received three different SEMS: steel (ST), nitinol (NiTi), or nitinol drug-eluting stent (DES); the fourth group was the control group (no stent). Sten...
متن کاملBioengineered trachea using autologous chondrocytes for regeneration of tracheal cartilage in a rabbit model.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS In this study, a bioengineered trachea composed of autologous chondrocytes was developed, and its effect on cartilaginous regeneration was evaluated by implantation into tracheal defects in rabbits. STUDY DESIGN Prospective controlled trial in an animal model. METHODS The tracheal prosthesis used in this study was composed of polypropylene (the frame) and collagen spon...
متن کاملUse of internal bioabsorbable PLGA "finger-type" stents in a rabbit tracheal reconstruction model.
OBJECTIVES To design and develop a biodegradable tracheal stent that can be used internally to stabilize and support surgically reconstructed airways. DESIGN In vitro mechanical and degradative properties of 80:20 poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) "finger-like" stents were determined. The stents were then tested in vivo in rabbits that underwent anterior patch tracheoplasties with fascia ...
