Post-intubation tracheal stenosis is an inflammatory disease of the central airway with high prevalence. Its late diagnosis results from the clinical signs such as dyspnea that can only be detectable after a e70% reduction in the diameter of the tracheal lumen by the stenosis. The present study focuses on non-invasive methods for early detection of the stenosis in an experimental model of…
Airway stenosis is a complex problem that usually requires surgery, multiple dilatation sessions and prostheses to maintain airway continuity. The laryngeal fissure is a major surgical procedure designed for patients with laryngo-tracheal stenosis. In addition to being a major surgical undertaking, it requires several subsequent procedures such as laryngeal and tracheal stenting for as lo…
Advanced pulmonary emphysema results in severe hyperinflation that limits expiratory flows, diaphragmatic excursion and exercise capacity thus causing dyspnea with an impact in the quality of life. Current therapy includes medical management, pulmonary rehabilitation, bulectomy, lung volume reduction surgery and lung transplantation with considerable morbidity and mortality. One-way valve…

The clinical diagnosis of post-intubation tracheal stenosis is usually late, and it may take weeks or months to present signs after extubation. This is based on the fact that dyspnea, its main symptom, manifests itself from a reduction equal to or greater than 70% of the nominal diameter of the tracheal lumen in the stenotic area. However, early diagnosis and treatment may be favorable fo…
The definitive surgical tratment for tracheal disorder includes the resection of the afected area, followed by primary reconstruction. However, the surgical tratment is limitated by the maximum possible lenght of the resection (50% of the longitudinal leght of the trachea in adults and 30% in children). The airway transplantation has been studied, as an alternative for those cases in wich…
