Abstract
Complete regeneration of epithelium and cartilage tracheal rings occurred after the implantation of decellularized tracheal allografts without immunosuppression. We demonstrate that the decellularized process reduces the allogeneic response to the trachea. Therefore, we believe that the decellularized tracheal allograft is an excellent choice for tracheal replacement. To our knowledge, this is the first study to observe the long-term (1 year) prognosis of this transplanted trachea.
