Even if the error between FE and regression results maybe considered high, taking into
account uncertainties associated to the geometrical and material simplifications, the
hypothesis of constant swallowing force independently of patient, gender, age and
weight, we consider that we got the main goal of this work as it was constructing a tool
that allows the thoracic surgeons to quantify the behavior of a patient-specific trachea
after prosthesis implantation with the possibility of varying the dimensions and stent
position getting reasonably accurate results in a very short time.
