Long-term survival after tracheal replacement using a cryopreserved aortic allograft

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Resection of large tracheal segments remains a challenge for thoracic surgeons, particularly when end-to-end anastomosis cannot be performed despite the use of release maneuvers. The feasibility of tracheobronchial replacement using stented aortic matrices has been demonstrated.1,2 We report the case of a patient with prolonged survival after resection of an 8.5-cm tracheal segment, cryopreserved allograft replacement, and subsequent stent removal. Patient's informed consent for publication was obtained.
