Predicting need for surgery in tracheal stenosis
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study is creating a scoring system using CT scans to predict if someone with tracheal stenosis (a narrowed windpipe) will need surgery. It may help doctors make quicker treatment decisions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with tracheal stenosis (narrowing of the windpipe)
- You had a CT scan of your chest at the time you were diagnosed
- Your CT scan is available in a digital format (DICOM) and is clear enough to read
- You have not had any surgery for tracheal stenosis before your CT scan

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares two surgical techniques to repair a narrowed windpipe caused by injury, trauma, or long-term breathing tube use. The goal is to find which approach works best for patients who need surgery for severe or moderate narrowing.
This trial studies genetic changes in people with tracheal stenosis (narrowing of the windpipe). It compares two treatments: wedge resection (cutting out the narrow part) and radial incision (cutting to open it up). This may help doctors choose the best treatment in the future.
This study uses a small piece of tissue from your windpipe to look at the genes and cells that cause benign (non-cancerous) tracheal stenosis. It aims to understand why the narrowing happens, which could lead to better treatments.
This trial tests an interventional treatment for narrowing of the windpipe (tracheal stenosis) that happened after a percutaneous (through-skin) tracheotomy. It may help improve breathing and reduce problems caused by the narrowing.
This study uses a computer program (deep learning) to analyze your chest CT scan and lung function test results before surgery. The goal is to see if the AI can help doctors better assess your lungs and plan your operation.
This study compares two methods for choosing the right size breathing tube for lung surgery: one uses a CT scan beforehand, the other uses standard sizing. The goal is to see which method works better and causes fewer complications.
