Project Abstract Subglottic stenosis (SGS) is one of the most common life-threatening airway disorders in infants and children. Current treatment methods are based on airway endoscopy, which provides only qualitative information. Surgical treatment failures for the most severe grades of SGS range toward 50%, often due to post-operative airway collapse in new, unpredicted locations. Treatment planning could be improved if evidence-based, quantitative, physiologic or anatomic metrics were available. To address this need, we propose to advance anatomic optical coherence tomography (aOCT) for high- resolution, high-speed imaging of the airway. Endoscopic aOCT and intraluminal pressure catheters will be used simultaneously to inform models of airway wall viscoelasticity (VE). In combination with simulated surgery and computational fluid dynamics (CFD), this constitutes a powerful new clinical tool to predict airway collapse and airflow resistance in children with SGS. Our ultimate goal is to develop an aOCT-informed pipeline to model tissue VE, perform simulated surgery, predict outcomes from a variety of surgical plans and, ultimately, reduce treatment failures. This will leverage existing infrastructure at UNC, including the Virtual Pediatric Airways Workbench for simulated surgery, the Pediatric Airway Atlas of normal airways, and fluid-structure interaction (FSI) modeling of the dynamic interplay between airway wall VE, airway deformation, and intraluminal pressure to accurately model and predict airway collapse. Our first Aim is to verify that geometric and pressure-related metrics that correlate with whether children receive surgery for SGS, previously established using CT, can be obtained from endoscopic aOCT, thereby avoiding ionizing radiation exposure. Our second Aim is technical development of dynamic (4 dimensional, 4D) aOCT imaging to quantify airway wall VE, validated against CINE CT in pigs. Our final Aim is to create 4D models of the airway in children with SGS including VE properties using aOCT, perform simulated surgery to predict patient-specific post-surgical outcomes, and compare these to post-surgical aOCT models created from routine post-operative surveillance endoscopies. In addition to the development of a new tool, these experiments will also provide new data on longitudinal changes in VE wall properties before and after surgery. Achievement of these goals will provide improved metrics for decision-making and enable evaluation of the dynamic airway without radiation exposure. Our long-term goals are to: 1) validate this approach clinically at multiple institutions; 2) evaluate the ability of these methods to improve outcomes; and 3) use the tool to study other airway diseases, such as obstructive sleep apnea (~10% of the population), in children and adults.

项目摘要 次变狭窄（SGS）是婴儿和 孩子们。当前的治疗方法基于气道内窥镜检查，仅提供定性 信息。 SGS最严重等级的手术治疗失败范围为50％，通常是由于 术后气道在新的，无预测的位置崩溃。如果治疗计划可以改善 有证据，定量，生理或解剖指标。 为了满足这一需求，我们建议推进解剖学光学相干断层扫描（AOCT） 分辨率，气道的高速成像。内窥镜AOCT和腔内压导导管将是 同时用于告知气道墙粘弹性模型（VE）。结合模拟手术 和计算流体动力学（CFD），这构成了一种强大的新临床工具，可预测气道塌陷 SGS儿童的气流阻力。我们的最终目标是开发一个信息的管道 模型组织VE，进行模拟手术，预测各种外科手术计划的结果，并最终 减少治疗失败。这将利用UNC的现有基础设施，包括虚拟小儿 气道工作台用于模拟手术，普通气道的小儿气道和流体结构 气道壁VE，气道变形和 腔内压力准确建模并预测气道塌陷。 我们的第一个目的是验证几何和压力相关的指标与孩子是否相关 可以从内窥镜AOCT获得以前使用CT建立的SGS手术，从而 避免电离辐射暴露。我们的第二个目标是动态的技术发展（4维，4D） AOCT成像以量化气道壁VE，对猪的Cine CT进行了验证。我们的最终目标是创建4D 使用AOCT进行SGS儿童（包括VE特性）的气道模型，进行模拟手术 预测特定于患者的外科后结果，并将其与由外科手术后的AOCT模型进行比较 常规的术后监视内镜。除了开发新工具外， 实验还将提供有关手术前后VE壁特性变化的新数据。 实现这些目标将为决策提供改进的指标，并启用评估 动态气道无辐射暴露。我们的长期目标是：1）在临床上验证这种方法 多个机构； 2）评估这些方法改善预后的能力； 3）使用该工具学习 儿童和成人的其他气道疾病，例如阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停（约占人口的10％）。
