Abstract
Over the past 25 years, we have demonstrated the feasibility of airway bioengineering using stented aortic matrices experimentally then in a first-in-human trial (n = 13). The present TRITON-01 study analyzed all the patients who had airway replacement at our center to confirm that this innovative approach can be now used as usual care. For each patient, the following data were prospectively collected: postoperative mortality and morbidity, late airway complications, stent removal and status at last follow-up on November 2, 2021. From October 2009 to October 2021, 35 patients had airway replacement for malignant (n = 29) or benign (n = 6) lesions. The 30-day postoperative mortality and morbidity rates were 2.9% (n = 1/35) and 22.9% (n = 8/35) respectively. At a median follow-up of 29.5 months (range 1-133 months), 27 patients were alive. There have been no deaths directly related to the implanted bioprosthesis. Eighteen patients (52.9%) had stent-related granulomas requiring a bronchoscopic treatment. Ten among 35 patients (28.6%) achieved a stent free survival. The actuarial 2- and 5-year survival rates (Kaplan-Meier estimates) were respectively 88% and 75%. The TRITON-01 study confirmed that airway replacement using stented aortic matrices can be proposed as usual care at our center. Clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT04263129.

Abstract
Tracheal reconstruction after extensive resection remains a challenge in thoracic surgery. Aortic allograft has been proposed to be a potential tracheal substitute. However, clinically, its application is limited for the shortage of autologous aortic segment. Whether xenogeneic aortic biosheets can be used as tracheal substitutes remains unknown. In the present study, we investigated the possibility in dog model. The results show that all dogs were survived without airway symptoms at 6 months after tracheal reconstruction with gently decellularized bovine carotid arteries. In the interior of engrafted areas, grafted patch integrated tightly with the residual native tracheal tissues and tracheal defects in the lumen were repaired smoothly without obvious inflammation, granulation, anastomotic leakage, or stenosis. In addition, histological and scanning electron microscopy examination showed that grafted patches were covered with ciliated columnar epithelium similar to epithelium in native trachea, which indicated successfully re-epithelialization of decellularized bovine carotid arteries in dogs. These findings provide preclinical investigation of xenogeneic aortic biosheets in serving as tracheal substitute in a dog model, which proposes that decellularized biosheets of bovine carotid may be a potential material for bioartificial tracheal graft.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Airway transplantation could be an option for patients with proximal lung tumor or with end-stage tracheobronchial disease. New methods for airway transplantation remain highly controversial. OBJECTIVE To establish the feasibility of airway bioengineering using a technique based on the implantation of stented aortic matrices. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Uncontrolled single-center cohort study including 20 patients with end-stage tracheal lesions or with proximal lung tumors requiring a pneumonectomy. The study was conducted in Paris, France, from October 2009 through February 2017; final follow-up for all patients occurred on November 2, 2017. EXPOSURES Radical resection of the lesions was performed using standard surgical techniques. After resection, airway reconstruction was performed using a human cryopreserved (-80°C) aortic allograft, which was not matched by the ABO and leukocyte antigen systems. To prevent airway collapse, a custom-made stent was inserted into the allograft. In patients with proximal lung tumors, the lung-sparing intervention of bronchial transplantation was used. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The primary outcome was 90-day mortality. The secondary outcome was 90-day morbidity. RESULTS Twenty patients were included in the study (mean age, 54.9 years; age range, 24-79 years; 13 men [65%]). Thirteen patients underwent tracheal (n = 5), bronchial (n = 7), or carinal (n = 1) transplantation. Airway transplantation was not performed in 7 patients for the following reasons: medical contraindication (n = 1), unavoidable pneumonectomy (n = 1), exploratory thoracotomy only (n = 2), and a lobectomy or bilobectomy was possible (n = 3). Among the 20 patients initially included, the overall 90-day mortality rate was 5% (1 patient underwent a carinal transplantation and died). No mortality at 90 days was observed among patients who underwent tracheal or bronchial reconstruction. Among the 13 patients who underwent airway transplantation, major 90-day morbidity events occurred in 4 (30.8%) and included laryngeal edema, acute lung edema, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and atrial fibrillation. There was no adverse event directly related to the surgical technique. Stent removal was performed at a postoperative mean of 18.2 months. At a median follow-up of 3 years 11 months, 10 of the 13 patients (76.9%) were alive. Of these 10 patients, 8 (80%) breathed normally through newly formed airways after stent removal. Regeneration of epithelium and de novo generation of cartilage were observed within aortic matrices from recipient cells. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE In this uncontrolled study, airway bioengineering using stented aortic matrices demonstrated feasibility for complex tracheal and bronchial reconstruction. Further research is needed to assess efficacy and safety. TRIAL REGISTRATION clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT01331863.

Abstract
This study evaluated tracheal regeneration studies using scientometric and co-occurrence analysis to identify the most important topics and assess their trends over time. To provide the adequate search options, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science (WOS) were used to cover various categories such as keywords, countries, organizations, and authors. Search results were obtained by employing Bibexcel. Co-occurrence analysis was applied to evaluate the publications. Finally, scientific maps, author's network, and country contributions were depicted using VOSviewer and NetDraw. Furthermore, the first 25 countries and 130 of the most productive authors were determined. Regarding the trend analysis, 10 co-occurrence terms out of highly frequent words were examined at 5-year intervals. Our findings indicated that the field of trachea regeneration has tested different approaches over the time. In total, 65 countries have contributed to scientific progress both in experimental and clinical fields. Special keywords such as tissue engineering and different types of stem cells have been increasingly used since 1995. Studies have addressed topics such as angiogenesis, decellularization methods, extracellular matrix, and mechanical properties since 2011. These findings will offer evidence-based information about the current status and trends of tracheal replacement research topics over time, as well as countries' contributions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the feasibility of an in vivo small bowel bioengineering model using allogeneic aortic grafts in pigs. BACKGROUND The best treatment for short bowel syndrome is still unclear. Intestinal transplantation, as well as lifelong parenteral nutrition is associated with a 5-year survival rate of less than 50 %. We have already used allogeneic arterial segments to replace the upper airway in sheep. The results were encouraging with an induced transformation of the aortic wall into tracheo-bronchial bronchial-type tissue. METHODS Seven young mini-pigs were used. A 10-cm-diameter, allogeneic, aortic graft was interposed in an excluded small bowel segment and wrapped by the neighboring omentum. Animals were autopsied at 1 (n = 2), 3 (n = 3), and 6 months (n = 2), respectively. Specimens were examined macroscopically and microscopically. RESULTS The overall survival rate of the animals was 71.4 %. No anastomotic leak occurred. Histologic analysis revealed intestinal-like wall transformation of the aortic graft in the surviving animals. CONCLUSION Aortic-enteric anastomosis is feasible in a porcine model. Moreover, in vivo, bioengineered, intestinal-like transformation of the vascular wall was identified.

Abstract
Currently, lung disease and major airway trauma constitute a major global healthcare burden with limited treatment options. Airway diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and cystic fibrosis have been identified as the fifth highest cause of mortality worldwide and are estimated to rise to fourth place by 2030. Alternate approaches and therapeutic modalities are urgently needed to improve clinical outcomes for chronic lung disease. This can be achieved through tissue engineering of the respiratory tract. Interest is growing in the use of airway tissue-engineered constructs as both a research tool, to further our understanding of airway pathology, validate new drugs, and pave the way for novel drug therapies, and also as regenerative medical devices or as an alternative to transplant tissue. This review provides a concise summary of the field of respiratory tissue engineering to date. An initial overview of airway anatomy and physiology is given, followed by a description of the stem cell populations and signaling processes involved in parenchymal healing and tissue repair. We then focus on the different biomaterials and tissue-engineered systems employed in upper and lower respiratory tract engineering and give a final perspective of the opportunities and challenges facing the field of respiratory tissue engineering.

Abstract
There has been significant and exciting recent progress in the development of bioengineering approaches for generating tracheal tissue that can be used for congenital and acquired tracheal diseases. This includes a growing clinical experience in both pediatric and adult patients with life-threatening tracheal diseases. However, not all of these attempts have been successful, and there is ongoing discussion and debate about the optimal approaches to be used. These include considerations of optimal materials, particularly use of synthetic versus biologic scaffolds, appropriate cellularization of the scaffolds, optimal surgical approaches and optimal measure of both clinical and biologic outcomes. To address these issues, the International Society of Cell Therapy convened a first-ever meeting of the leading clinicians and tracheal biologists, along with experts in regulatory and ethical affairs, to discuss and debate the issues. A series of recommendations are presented for how to best move the field ahead.

Abstract
After more than 50 years of research, airway transplantation remains a major challenge in the fields of thoracic surgery and regenerative medicine. Five principal types of tracheobronchial substitutes, including synthetic prostheses, bioprostheses, allografts, autografts and bioengineered conduits have been evaluated experimentally in numerous studies. However, none of these works have provided a standardized technique for the replacement of the airways. More recently, few clinical attempts have offered encouraging results with ex vivo or stem cell-based engineered airways and tracheal allografts implanted after heterotopic revascularization. In 1997, we proposed a novel approach: the use of aortic grafts as a biological matrix for extensive airway reconstruction. In vivo regeneration of epithelium and cartilage were demonstrated in animal models. This led to the first human applications using cryopreserved aortic allografts that present key advantages because they are available in tissue banks and do not require immunosuppressive therapy. Favorable results obtained in pioneering cases have to be confirmed in larger series of patients with extensive tracheobronchial diseases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Recent advances in airway transplantation have shown the ability of ex vivo or in vivo tracheal regeneration with bioengineered conduits or biological substitutes, respectively. Previously, we established a process of in vivo-guided tracheal regeneration using vascular allografts as a biological scaffold. We theorized that tracheal healing was the consequence of a mixed phenomenon associating tracheal contraction and regeneration. The aim of the present study was to determine the role that bone marrow stem cells play in that regenerative process. METHODS Three groups of 12 rabbits underwent a gender-mismatched aortic graft transplantation after tracheal resection. The first group received no cells (control group), the second group had previously received autologous green fluorescent protein-labeled mesenchymal stem cell transplantation, and the third group received 3 labeled mesenchymal stem cell injections on postoperative days 0, 10, and 21. RESULTS The clinical results were impaired by stent complications (obstruction or migration), but no anastomotic leakage, dehiscence, or stenosis was observed. The rabbits were killed, and the trachea was excised for analysis at 1 to 18 months after tracheal replacement. In all 3 groups, microscopic examination showed an integrated aortic graft lined by metaplastic epithelium. By 12 months, immature cartilage was detected among disorganized elastic fibers. Positive SRY gene detection served as evidence for engraftment of cells derived from the male recipient. EF-green fluorescent protein detection showed bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell involvement. CONCLUSIONS The results of the present study imply a role for bone marrow stem cells in tracheal regeneration after aortic allografting. Studies are necessary to identify the local and systemic factors stimulating that regenerative process.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tracheal defects may occur after trauma or prolonged intubation. Resection of tracheal tumors also poses a major challenge for substitution. In an effort to solve this problem, different techniques have been tried with little success. We report on a new animal model which showed acceptable results with fewer complications. METHODS We replaced 5 cm of cervical trachea in 10 dogs with harvested infra-renal aorta and repaired the aortic defect with Dacron graft. RESULTS Necropsy of the grafted aorta and anastomotic site revealed well healed anastomosis in all animals together with ciliated columnar epithelium coverage of grafted aorta and neovascularization of aortic wall. CONCLUSION Aortic graft is preferable to other substitutes because of less antigenicity, less vascularity, and no mucous secretions or peristalsis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Seven years of experimental research provided a valuable tracheal substitute, the aortic allograft, which can promote the regeneration of epithelium and cartilage. In human application, both fresh and preserved aortic allografts could be used. The optimal method of aortic allograft preservation remains to be evaluated. This study assessed the use of cryopreserved, decellularized, or glutaraldehyde-treated aortic allografts as tracheal substitutes. METHODS Twenty-two sheep underwent tracheal replacement using cryopreserved (n = 10), decellularized (n = 7) or glutaraldehyde-treated (n = 5) allografts, supported by a temporary stent to prevent airway collapse. Aortic segments were retrieved at regular intervals up to 12 months after implantation to analyze the regenerative process. RESULTS All animals survived the operation. Major complications such as infection, stent migration, or obstruction were predominantly encountered in the decellularized group. The lack of major inflammatory response within the aortic graft observed in the glutaraldehyde group was associated with the absence of tracheal regeneration. Histologic examinations showed a progressive transformation of the aorta into a tracheal tissue comprising respiratory epithelium and cartilage only in the cryopreserved group. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated that regeneration of a functional tissue could be obtained after tracheal replacement with a cryopreserved aortic allograft. The regenerative process followed the same pattern as previously described for fresh allografts. Cryopreserved aortic allografts present major advantages: availability in tissue banks, permanent storage, and no need for immunosuppression. This offers a new field of perspectives for clinical application in patients with extensive tracheal cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE An established method of tracheal substitution is not yet available, but homograft tracheal transplantation might provide a realistic tracheal replacement. With the objective of sequentially examining the healing of tracheal homografts, we have established a suitable large-animal model. METHODS Five sheep received orthotopic tracheal transplantation of a 4-cm cervical tracheal homograft. The trachea was supported for 6 weeks with a self-expanding polyester stent. The plan was to euthanize the animals after 2, 4, 8, 12 and 16 weeks, or whenever complications occurred. RESULTS The implantation itself was performed without complications. After 2 weeks the homograft was firmly encapsulated by connective tissue, without signs of necrosis or abscess. The original mucous membrane no longer existed; the cartilage rings were exposed. In all animals that were euthanized at the later dates, the homografts were completely absorbed and replaced by inflammatory scar tissue. This, in turn, was covered with a shiny cellular surface layer. CONCLUSIONS The results from this animal experiment reveal-contrary to data published to date-that tracheal homografts are not incorporated but absorbed. They are replaced by scar/granulation tissue that cannot secure the stability of the trachea. Therefore, further experiments with respect to the biocompatability of homografts appear to be necessary.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To assess whether fresh aortic allografts (AAs) can be used for tracheal replacement. METHODS Twenty-one male minipigs underwent tracheal replacement using AAs harvested from female pigs. The length of replaced segments exceeded 50% of the trachea. A stent was implanted into the lumen of the AA to prevent collapse. The animals were killed at 3-month intervals, and AAs were assessed for ingrowth of respiratory epithelium and cartilage formation and tested for type II collagen formation and the presence of the SRY gene. RESULTS A high stent migration rate was observed. Only 10 pigs and 4 pigs made it to follow-up periods exceeding 3 months and 9 months, respectively. Neither rejection nor ischemia were observed. At 3 months, a metaplastic epithelium lined the graft. At 10 months, a posterior membrane could be seen with immature cartilage and disorganized elastic fibers. SRY gene assay showed that the cells engrafted in the AAs, particularly at the level of the newly formed cartilage, were of male origin and thus originated from the recipient. CONCLUSION This study confirms that a fresh AA, replacing more than half of the trachea of the pig, transforms into a conduit containing the major tracheal components. These components are relatively immature and do not as of yet replicate the form and function of the native trachea. Questions remain concerning the exact mechanisms of this process. Further research on the role of tracheal replacement is recommended.

Abstract
To successfully engineer a bioartificial tracheal replacement, it is believed that the regeneration of a functional epithelial lining is a key requirement. In the present study, rabbit tracheal epithelial cells were cultured on temperature-responsive culture dishes, under normal culture conditions at 37 degrees C. By simple temperature reduction to 20 degrees C, the cultured epithelial cells were noninvasively harvested as intact sheets, without the use of any proteolytic enzymes. Support Dacron grafts that had been subcutaneously implanted for 4 weeks to allow for host tissue and vessel infiltration were then opened, and the tracheal epithelial cell sheets were transplanted to the luminal surface without sutures. These fabricated constructs were then used as tracheal replacements, in a rabbit model. Four weeks after transplantation, results showed that the tracheal grafts were covered by a mature, pseudostratified columnar epithelium. In contrast, control constructs that did not receive cell sheet transplantation demonstrated only a thin, immature epithelium at the center of the replacement graft. These results therefore demonstrate that these tracheal epithelial cell sheets can create an epithelial lining on the luminal surface of a bioartificial trachea.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tracheal replacement remains an unsolved surgical problem. Attempts to use tracheal substitutes have failed to achieve reliable results. In this study, tracheal regeneration was obtained after tracheal replacement with an allogenic aorta. METHODS Twenty female sheep underwent a 8-cm tracheal replacement with a fresh aortic allograft. In the six last animals, aortic grafts came from male sheep. A stent prevented airway collapse. No immunosuppressive therapy was used. Aortic segments were retrieved at regular intervals up to 16 months. A polymerase chain reaction for the SRY gene was performed in specimens with aortic grafts from male sheep. RESULTS All animals but one survived the operation without complications. Clearly identified between the suture lines, the aortic segments were completely transformed into a tracheal structure. Histology showed initially an inflammatory reaction with proliferation of a squamous epithelium followed by mucociliary epithelium and newly formed cartilage rings. SRY gene was not found in newly formed cartilage rings showing that the regeneration originated from recipient cells. CONCLUSIONS This study presents a new type of tissue regeneration and brings hopes to the treatment of extensive tracheal lesions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This article describes the application of a novel aortic tube technique for directly revascularized tracheobronchial transplantation with dual blood supply in pigs. METHODS Eleven adult Large White pigs underwent heterotopic tracheal transplantation with a dual revascularization technique (inferior thyroid artery and bronchial artery). Seven tracheobronchial grafts were perfused ex vivo, and hemodynamic data were collected. RESULTS At the last evaluation, 6 pigs had normally epithelialized mucus-producing allografts with correct morphologic conformation and cartilage viability. The histopathologic examination revealed homogeneous tissue regardless of biopsy site (trachea, carina, or bronchi), demonstrating the efficacy of the revascularization procedure. Four animals had early ischemic necrosis develop, 2 from acute rejection and 2 from technical mishap. One additional pig had acute rejection starting on the 14th postoperative day. The CD4(+)/CD8(+) ratio was maintained close to or above 0.8 in the subgroup with rejection and below 0.6 in the animals that were correctly immunosuppressed. Pressure-flow curves in 7 ex vivo tracheobronchial grafts showed a nonsignificant difference (P <.12) in vascular resistance between the bronchial artery territory (lower resistance) and the inferior thyroid artery territory. CONCLUSIONS For the first time, a transplantation technique encompassing the entire trachea, carina, and stem bronchi has been made possible. By means of the dual inferior thyroid and bronchial artery axis, we were able to obtain a structurally healthy and functional graft to replace the main airway.

BACKGROUND Tracheal reconstruction after extensive resection remains a challenge in thoracic surgery. The goal of this experimental study was to analyze the long-term evolution of tracheal replacement using an autologous aortic graft. METHODS In 21 sheep, a 5-cm segment of the cervical trachea was replaced by a segment of the descending thoracic aorta that was reconstructed to a prosthetic graft. Because of the airway collapse reported in a previous series, a permanent (n = 13) or temporary (n = 8) stent was systematically placed in the lumen of the graft. Clinical, bronchoscopic, and histologic examinations were performed up to 3 years after implantation. RESULTS All animals survived the operation with no paraplegia. In the group with a permanent stent, three complications occurred: one stent displacement, one laryngeal edema, and one infection. Stent removal was tolerated after 6 months in the group with a temporary stent. Histologic examination showed a progressive transformation of the arterial segment into first extensive inflammatory tissue with a squamous epithelium, and after 6 to 36 months well-differentiated tracheal tissue including a continuous mucociliary epithelium and regular rings of newly formed cartilage. CONCLUSIONS An autologous aortic graft used as a substitute for extensive tracheal replacement in sheep remained functional for periods up to 3 years. The progressive transformation of the graft into a structure resembling tracheal tissue seems to be a key factor in long-term patency. The mechanism of this regenerative process and the possibility of using arterial homografts, which would make clinical application easier, remain to be evaluated.
