Wisdom From Past Presidents of The Society of Thoracic Surgeons
2021, Annals of Thoracic SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Grillo addresses young surgeons specifically in saying that they must maintain a healthy skepticism toward any rule declared as immutable. In working “… carefully and reasonably, you may rewrite the rule—at least for a time,” relying on scientific principles that “… help prepare the clinician for an analytical approach to problems.”32 Another key insight shared was that innovation does not occur in a vacuum; it is driven by stepping outside what is known and familiar.
Postintubation Tracheal Stenosis: Management and Results 1993 to 2017
2019, Annals of Thoracic SurgeryPorous decellularized trachea scaffold prepared by a laser micropore technique
2019, Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical MaterialsCitation Excerpt :Tracheal defects are a clinical syndrome commonly caused by congenital malformation, trauma, tumors, or other mechanisms. At present, “end to end anastomosis” is often applied for treatment (Grillo, 1989). However, when the tracheal defect is longer than 6 cm in adults (30% of the total length in children), it is difficult to achieve tracheal reconstruction by direct anastomosis, and reconstruction of the trachea must be performed with substitutes (Grillo, 2002; Hinderer and Schenke-Layland, 2013; Wright et al., 2004).
Congenital complete absence of tracheal rings with trifurcate carina: Case report of a rare clinical and endoscopic presentation
2018, International Journal of Pediatric OtorhinolaryngologyCitation Excerpt :We present a rare case of severe tracheomalacia caused by full-length absence of tracheal rings. The C-shaped cartilaginous tracheal rings range in number from 18 to 22 and develop from ventrally located mesenchymal cells after differentiation into chondrocytes during the 10th to 12th week of gestation [3,4]. Malformations in tracheal development are frequently associated with foregut anomalies such as tracheoesophageal fistula and esophageal atresia.
Advances in tracheal surgery: Are we close to finding the ideal tracheal substitute?
2010, Revue des Maladies RespiratoiresPostintubation Tracheal Stenosis
2009, Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular SurgeryCitation Excerpt :A thorough evaluation of the entire upper respiratory tract, from the supraglottic structures to the carina, is therefore mandatory before surgical intervention in such patients (Fig. 1). Any patient who develops symptoms of airway obstruction, who has been intubated and/or ventilated in the recent past, must be considered to have an organic lesion until proved otherwise.1 A patient with such a history, who presents with wheezing, stridor, or exertional dyspnea, is much more likely to have a PITS lesion than adult-onset asthma as an explanation for their symptoms.
