Abstract
Reconstruction of a tracheal defect remains to be one of the biggest challenges in thoracic surgery. We present a case in which we used Gore-Tex and an external wire stent to reconstruct 7 cm of the trachea and obtained satisfactory outcomes. Gore-Tex appears to be a biocompatible, stable, and reversible material that can be safely used to reconstruct tracheal defects.
