Patients with pathological tracheal loss more than a certain length may need tracheal transplantation.Traditional natural tissue and autologous tissue have failed to produce satisfactory clinical outcomes to replace the trachea because of local infection,tracheal stenosis,tracheomalacia,immune rejection et al. In recent years,the emergence oftissue engineering trachea provides a new idea for tracheal transplantation. But scientists have not yet reached a consensus about how to choose ideal extracellular matrix to construct tissue engineering trachea. At present research and applicationof tissue engineering trachea,extracellular matrices mainly include allogenic trachea,allogenic aorta and biologicalcomposite materials. Each allogenic matrix or biological composite material has its own advantages and disadvantages. Therefore,this article mainly summarizes recent application and research progress of extracellular matrix in long segmental tracheal defect and its future perspective.
