Donor artery patch may fix Kids' windpipes in risky new surgery
NCT ID NCT07240259
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a piece of donated aorta (the body's largest artery) can be used as a patch to repair severe windpipe or bronchial defects in children. The surgery is for kids who cannot have standard windpipe repair. Only 5 children will be enrolled, and the main goal is to see if they survive 90 days after the operation.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
cryopreserved donor aortic patch
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new surgical option for children with severe windpipe damage who have no other good treatment.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early feasibility study with only 5 children. The surgery carries high short-term risk of death, and the patch may cause leaks, infections, or blockages.
