Table 1: Summary table of recent papers on tracheal stenosis with relevant findings.
| Authors, Year (Reference) | Study Design | Relevant Findings |
| Manning et al., 2011, [1] | Single institution review of 80 patients undergoing slide tracheoplasties over an 8-year period | - 95% overall survival (2 early deaths and 2 late deaths) - Lower complication and reintervention rates with slide tracheoplasty compared to previous techniques |
| Butler et al., 2014, [2] | Single institution review of 101 patients undergoing slide tracheoplasties over a 17-year period | - 88% overall survival - Largest series of slide tracheoplasties reported - Preoperative ECMO, bronchomalacia, and bronchial stenosis predicted worse survival - Single lung not predictive of worse survival |
| Fanous et al. 2010, [3] | Single institution review of 26 patients undergoing anterior pericardial tracheoplasties over a 28-year period | - 81% overall survival (3 early deaths and 2 late deaths) - Advantage of extended long-term follow-up (3 months to 22 years) |
| Anton-Pacheco et al., 2003, [4] | Single institution review of 13 patients with congenital tracheal stenosis looking at predictors of outcome including the morphology and location of stenosis | - 77% overall survival with a variety of techniques - Short segment stenosis can be treated with resection while long segment disease is best treated with slide tracheoplasty - High mortality (50%) with single lung |
| Backer et al. 2009, [6] | Single institution review of 71 patients with congenital tracheal stenosis and unilateral lung agenesis or hypoplasia undergoing 4 different surgeries over a 30-year time period | - Similar overall survival among patients with two lungs compared to those with a hypoplastic or absent lung (83% vs 84%) - Slide tracheoplasty is the procedure of choice in those with bilateral lungs as well as those with a hypoplastic or absent lung |
