Biocompatibility of three-dimensional thermoplastic elastomer implants compared to that of the sternocephalic muscle flap in repairing partial tracheal defects in New Zealand white rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus)

ABSTRACT Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness and biocompatibility of a three-dimensional (3D) thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) prosthesis for repairing partial tracheal defects using 3D printing with fused deposition modelling. Methods: Thirty-two rabbits underwent partial resection of five trache...
