Evaluating the Clinical Effectiveness of 3D Printing for a Patient-specific Silicone Stent Airway Implant

Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive Clinical Trial

Official title: Small Feasibility Study for Evaluating the Clinical Effectiveness of 3D Printing for a Patient-specific Silicone Stent Airway Implant

Status Withdrawn

Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of the small feasibility trial is to establish a method, material, and patient-specific design that is superior to what is in use today. The first round of patients are well known to the physician investigator and are familiar with the problem that is being resolved. The end goal of the project is to create a new patient-specific design that will last longer, fit better, and cause less trauma to the airway and the patient.

Clinical Trial Description

Subjects will be selected from physician investigator's clinical practice where patients have had failure of current stenting procedures to achieve an adequate clinical outcome. A routine CT scan of the chest is required on all individuals going through the procedure for stent placement (rigid bronchoscopy). The physician investigator will use this CT scan to measure and build a patient-specific stent or modify existing stents to fit the specific need. ;
