Biodegradable polydioxanone stents in the treatment of adult patients with tracheal narrowing
Original language description
Biodegradable stents that disintegrate after a period of time are expected to be well tolerated and have advantages over other stents that are more commonly used in practice today. Polydioxanone is a biodegradable polymer that is widely used during surgery with absorbable suture. Methods: We present cases from the first four patients to undergo a tracheal polydioxanone stent insertion. Indications included significant non-malignant tracheal stenosis in cases where primary surgical treatment was not possible. The stents were implanted using rigid bronchoscopy and patients received regular follow-ups as needed. This use of biodegradable stents in adult patients was a novel, previously untested approach. The study was approved by the Institutional Ethics Committee and was based on a project entitled; "Biodegradable stents in the management of stenoses of large airways" (project NT 14146-3/2013). Results: Six biodegradable stents were implanted in four patients with benign stenoses. No technical difficulties occurred and no serious or life-threatening events were recorded. All patients reported some benefit from treatment.
