To the Editor:

We read with interest the recent report of Gilbert and colleagues [1]. The authors showed an insufficient regeneration of tracheal tissue after patch repair with three acellular extracellular matrix (ECM) scaffolds in a dog model. They detected a nonphysiologic re-cellularization of the transplanted grafts and an inflammatory reaction in the course of patch healing attributed to the resorption of the applied suture materials. We want to address some conceptual . . . [Full Text of this Article]
