    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Surgery
    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Thoracic Surgery

    Background:

    • Tracheomalacia can cause significant respiratory distress in infants.
    • Aortopexy is a surgical procedure to correct aortic arch abnormalities and relieve tracheomalacia.
    • Traditional aortopexy techniques may lead to aortic wall trauma.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a new Dacron patch aortopexy technique.
    • To highlight the advantages of this new technique over classical methods.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of this technique in patients with tracheomalacia.

    Main Methods:

    • A novel aortopexy technique utilizing a Dacron patch was developed.
    • The procedure involves applying evenly distributed traction on the aorta over a large area.

  • Minimizing trauma to the aortic wall was a key design consideration.

    • Main Results:

    • The new Dacron patch aortopexy technique was successfully performed in eight patients.
    • The procedure demonstrated minimized trauma to the aortic wall.
    • Evenly distributed traction was achieved over a large aortic area.

    Conclusions:

    • The described Dacron patch aortopexy is a safe and effective technique for treating tracheomalacia.
    • This method offers advantages over classical techniques, including reduced aortic trauma.
    • Further studies may explore long-term outcomes of this innovative procedure.
