Filter by:The goal of this clinical investigation is to learn about the use of a novel medical device, the SPIRION Laryngeal Pacemaker, in patients suffering from bilateral vocal fold paralysis (BVFP). The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is the use of the device safe? - Does the device improve the participants ability to take a breath? Participants will be implanted with the SPIRION Laryngeal Pacemaker and the development of their symptoms will be observed for the following 2 years.
The goal of this clinical investigation is to learn about the use of a novel medical device, the SPIRION Laryngeal Pacemaker, in patients suffering from bilateral vocal fold paralysis (BVFP) and who have had at least one related surgery on one of their vocal folds. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is the use of the device safe? - Does the device improve the participants ability to take a breath? Participants will be implanted with the SPIRION Laryngeal Pacemaker and the development of their symptoms will be observed for the following 2 years.
The larynx performs important functions of the aero-digestive tract, it has a vital role in the control of breathing, phonation, deglutition, and protection of the lower respiratory tract from aspiration. Bilateral Vocal cord paralysis is a challenging and at times debilitating laryngeal dysfunction that has a great social and economic impact on a patient's life. VC Lateralization, if done accurately and up to the expectations of the patient is very rewarding. However different surgical procedures which include cordectomy, arytenoidectomy with or without laser, open surgical methods, and Isshiki type 2 thyroplasty are in practice. Each has its own profile of benefits and disadvantages. Most of them are technically difficult and complex, need specialized equipment, and are out of reach of the general ENT surgeons. The investigator suggests using the Prolene suture stabilized over Prolene mesh for Vocal Cord Lateralization.
This is a prospective observational study examining the treatment outcomes of selective laryngeal reinnervation procedures for patients with bilateral vocal fold paralysis.
