The previously applied prosthesis is ＂inner stent＂ type, which is unable to heal biologically with native trachea, The newly developed design, the Zhao＇s artificial trachea, uses a memory alloy mesh combined with traditional operation procedures. Following a 2-year experimental period, the device has been applied to seven patients with satisfying results.展开更多
