NCT ID NCT07240259

First seen Nov 20, 2025 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 21 times

Summary

This study tests whether a patch made from a donor's aorta (the large blood vessel from the heart) can safely repair damaged or narrowed windpipes in 5 children. The children in this study cannot have standard surgery. The main goal is to see if they survive 90 days after the operation, as these surgeries carry a high risk. The study also checks for complications like air leaks, pneumonia, and breathing tube problems.
