Interventions
Cryopreserved aortic patch
After identifying the tracheal or bronchial defect with standard surgical techniques, the airway gap is reconstructed with a patch of human cryopreserved (-80 celsius degree) aortic allograft, which was not matched by the ABO and leukocyte antigen systems. The anastomosis is performed with standard technique for airway anastomosis. An silicon stent is inserted to prevent collapse for the aortic graft.
