Objectives: Laryngotracheal stenosis and obstruction can be challenging to manage.
Traditional assessment tools are limited in clinical correlation. Three-dimensional …

Abstract 3D models of airway lumens were created from CT scans of 19 patients with
laryngotracheal stenosis. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations were completed …

Background Obstructive upper airway pathologies are a great clinical challenge for the
airway surgeon. Protection against acute obstruction is critical, but avoidance of …

Patients referred for treatment of tracheal stenosis typically are asymptomatic until critical
narrowing of the airway occurs, which then requires immediate intervention. To understand …

Objectives Describe a technique for the description and classification of laryngotracheal
stenosis in children using 3-dimensional reconstructions of the airway from computed …

The study advances the idea of using computational fluid dynamics in the process of
planning surgical treatment modalities for patients with obstructive airway disorders. It is …

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis is useful for quantitative assessment in
patients with upper airway obstructions. We compared CFD analysis with rhinomanometry …

Background Understanding respiratory physiology can aid clinicians in diagnosing the
cause of respiratory symptoms or shed light on drug delivery inhaler device optimisation …

The numerical simulations of the flow in nasal airways were performed for two different
clinical cases. The results comprised the distributions of scalars at five different sections and …

Laryngotracheal stenosis (LTS) is a type of airway narrowing that is frequently caused by
intubation-related trauma. LTS can occur at one or multiple locations in the larynx and/or …
