Several drugs have been used to modulate of the tracheal healing process in order to prevent tracheal stenosis. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a modulator of the fibrogenesis. In this work we evaluate the effect in order the application of hyaluronic acid has on tracheal healing, after cervical tracheoplasty in dogs. A cervical tracheal resection and tracheoplasty was performed in 12 dogs and they wer...

Anesthesiology, V 123 • No 4 747 October 2015 T he number of procedures requiring high-frequency jet ventilation (hFJV) continually increases, and the advantages of hFJV are well recognized.1,2 The majority of procedures using hFJV are performed in patients with variable degrees of tracheal stenosis. however, a comprehensive study illustrating the efficacy and safety of hFJV for ventilation of ...

Background: Self-expanding Y metal stent insertion is a safe and effective palliative method for malignant lesions involving the lower trachea, tracheal carina, main-stem bronchi. However, length degree of airway stenosis in different patients tend to vary, which leads call customized that could achieve better treatment effect.

The authors observed 42 patients with post-intubation tracheal stenosis who had been treated surgically. The report presents late morphological lesions within the trachea that constituted the causes of such stenosis.

BACKGROUND Surgery is an appropriate therapeutic approach for tracheal stenosis due to various benign and malignant conditions. When surgery is postponed for certain reasons, other options are chosen for airway patency. One alternative is using airway stents. OBJECTIVES We aimed to introduce a safe method of tracheal polyflex stent placement in patients with tracheal stenoses. PATIENTS AND ...

Endobronchial tuberculosis (EBTB) is defined as (TB)infection of the tracheobronchial tract. Tracheal and bronchial involvement from TB infection was first reported by Morten in 1698. a form that difficult to diagnose because lesions are frequently undetectable sputum examination chest X-ray alone. present 10-40% active patients more than 90% cases accompanied stenosis various degrees. The main...

OBJECTIVE To assess the capacity of high and low doses of the antimitotic drug mitomycin to prevent laryngeal stenosis in an animal model. METHODS A prospective, randomized, double-blind, controlled study was carried out. End-to-end anastomosis was performed in 18 rabbits after tracheal annulus resection to produce inflammation. There were 3 treatment groups: topical saline (isotonic sodium c...

Pulmonary artery sling (PAS) is a rare congenital condition in which the left pulmonary artery (LPA) arises from the right pulmonary artery, and then passes between the trachea and the esophagus to reach the left lung, thereby forming a sling around the airway. It is often associated with intrinsic tracheal stenosis due to complete cartilaginous rings. Therapeutic management nowadays consists o...

OBJECTIVE To describe our experience with cervical slide tracheoplasty (CST) in managing complex laryngotracheal disorders. DESIGN Retrospective analysis. SETTING Quaternary care pediatric institution. PATIENTS The study included 29 patients who underwent CST without cardiopulmonary bypass at our institution from January 2003 to January 2011. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE Surgery-specific and ov...
