Donated aortic patches could fix windpipe damage in small trial
NCT ID NCT06935110
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether using cryopreserved aortic patches (donated tissue) can safely repair defects in the windpipe or bronchial tubes. Ten people with severe tracheal narrowing or deformities will receive this surgical patch. The main goal is to see if it reduces death and complications like leaks or blockages within 90 days.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Congenital tracheal deformities: Includes congenital tracheomalacia, congenital tracheobronchial malformations, complete tracheal rings, etc., with severe clinical symptoms and cases where treatment is recommended after evaluation. 2. Acquired tracheal stenosis: Includes tracheal narrowing caused by diseases, endotracheal intubation, or postoperative scar tissue, with severe clinical symptoms and cases where treatment is recommended after evaluation. 3. Tracheal injury or tissue defect caused by trauma or burns: Cases requiring surgical repair. 4. Tracheal tumors: Reconstruction of tracheal tissue following the removal of benign or malignant tumors. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients who are unable to provide informed consent. 2. Pulmonary tumors that can be treated with standard lobectomy. 3. Locally invasive tumors that are unresectable. 4. Presence of contralateral lymph node metastasis. 5. Presence of distant metastasis, except for solitary, resectable brain metastasis. 6. Tracheal lesions amenable to standard resection with direct anastomosis. 7. Preoperative evaluation indicates inability to undergo standard lobectomy. 8. Patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or with other immunodeficiency disorders. 9. Any condition or circumstance deemed by the principal investigator to potentially interfere with the conduct of the trial (e.g., severely impaired cardiopulmonary function, significant liver or kidney dysfunction, poorly controlled diabetes, high-risk groups, or pregnancy). 10. Individuals with concerns about the potential risks of the trial.
