Endoscopic Implantation of a Biodegradable Tracheal Stent: Toward Pediatric Applications in Airway Surgery — A Preclinical Study

Obstructions of the tracheobronchial tree can result from various etiologies. Most cases of tracheal stenosis or tracheomalacia are associated with patient-specific anatomical and functional abnormalities, making treatment challenging. Despite progress in the development of tracheal support devices, the optimal or near-optimal stent design remains elusive.
