OBJECTIVE: To present external airway splinting with bioabsorbable airway supportive devices (ASD) for severe, life-threatening cases of pediatric tracheomalacia (TM) or tracheobronchomalacia (TBM).
METHODS: A retrospective cohort was performed for 5 pediatric patients with severe TM or TBM who underwent ASD placement. Devices were designed and 3D-printed from a bioabsorbable material, polycaprolactone (PCL). Pre-operative planning included 3-dimensional airway modeling of tracheal collapse and tracheal suture placement using nonlinear finite element (FE) methods. Pre-operative modeling revealed that triads along the ASD open edges and center were the most effective suture locations for optimizing airway patency. Pediatric cardiothoracic surgery and otolaryngology applied the ASDs by suspending the trachea to the ASD with synchronous bronchoscopy. Respiratory needs were trended for all cases. Data from pediatric patients with tracheostomy and diagnosis of TM or TBM, but without ASD, were included for discussion.
RESULTS: Five patients (2 Females, 3 Males, ages 2-9 months at time of ASD) were included. Three patients were unable to wean from respiratory support after vascular ring division; all three weaned to room air post-ASD. Two patients received tracheostomies prior to ASD placement, but continued to experience apparent life-threatening events (ALTE) and required ventilation with supraphysiologic ventilator settings. One patient weaned respiratory support successfully after ASD placement. The last patient died post-ASD due to significant respiratory co-morbidity.
CONCLUSION: ASD can significantly benefit patients with severe, unrelenting tracheomalacia or tracheobronchomalacia. Proper multidisciplinary case deliberation and selection are key to success with ASD. Pre-operative airway modeling allows proper suture placement to optimally address the underlying airway collapse.
