Adjuvant management for laryngotracheal stenosis (LTS) may involve inhaled corticosteroids, but metered dose inhalers are designed for pulmonary drug delivery. Comprehensive analyses of drug particle deposition efficiency for orally inhaled corticosteroids in the stenosis of LTS subjects are lacking. Descriptive Research Academic medical center Anatomically realistic three-dimensional reconstructions of the upper airway were created from computed tomography images of four LTS subjects – two subglottic stenosis and two tracheal stenosis subjects. Computational fluid dynamics modeling was used to simulate airflow and drug particle transport in each airway. Three inhalation pressures were simulated, 10Pa, 25Pa, and 40Pa. Drug particle transport was simulated for 100–950 nanoparticles and 1–50 micron-particles. Particles were released into the airway to mimic varying inhaler conditions with and without a spacer chamber. Based on smallest to largest cross-sectional area ratio, the laryngotracheal stenotic segment shrunk by 57% and 47%, respectively, for subglottic stenosis models and by 53% for both tracheal stenosis models. Airflow resistance at stenotic segment was lower in subglottic stenosis models than in tracheal stenosis models: 0.001–0.011Pa.s/ml versus 0.024–0.082Pa.s/ml. Drug depositions for micron-particles and nanoparticles at stenosis were 0.06%−2.48% and 0.10%−2.60% for subglottic stenosis and tracheal stenosis models, respectively. Particle sizes with highest stenotic deposition were 6μm-20μm for subglottic stenosis models and 1μm-10μm for tracheal stenosis models. This study suggests that at most 2.60% of inhaled drug particles deposit at the stenosis. Particle size ranges with highest stenotic deposition may not represent typical sizes emitted by inhalers.
