“…External splints with autologous materials and prosthetic materials have been used to stabilize the malacic or deformed airway. Implantation of external prosthetic splint has raised concerns in terms of long-term effects and complications, including infection and erosion into nearby structures (46). An external splint made from the molded resorbable plate can be sutured around the airway, providing temporary airway support with full resorption predicted to occur within 1-3 years (47).…”

“…In severe cases, aggressive treatment may be required including continuous positive airway pressure, tracheostomy, airway stenting, or surgical repair with pexy procedures. Recently, customized, bioresorbable 3D-printed splints have been used in cases of severe tracheomalacia with preliminary success in both pediatric and adult patients although larger and longer studies are necessary to evaluate long-term outcomes and complications [29].…”

“…El riesgo de potenciales complicaciones como infección o erosión de estructuras adyacentes con el uso de materiales no-reabsorbibles ha volcado el interés hacia estabilizadores externos reabsorbibles, los que además permitirían el crecimiento de la vía aérea pediátrica. En los últimos años se ha reportado del uso de impresoras 3-D para fabricar moldes reabsorbibles a medida 29 .…”

“…A pesar de que existe una vasta experiencia en su uso en adultos para distintas indicaciones, su uso en pacientes pediátricos sigue siendo controvertido. El pequeño diámetro de la vía aérea; la posibilidad de migración, fractura u obstrucción; el riesgo de erosión hacia estructuras vecinas; la formación de tejido de granulación; la dificultad en su cambio o retiro; la necesidad de broncoscopías repetidas; y la necesidad de permitir el crecimiento de la vía aérea, son todos problemas a considerar respecto a su uso para el manejo de la TM pediátrica 6,29 .…”
