Background: Mesenchymal stem cells have been proven to promote cellular recruitment and remodeling during healing. Considering challenges encountered in the healing process of esophageal injury, we sought to evaluate the effect of human adipose derived stem cells (hASC) on esophageal injury with stent and to assess the feasibility of submucosal hASC injection as a mechanism of delivery.
Methods: An intrabdominal esophagotomy was created in rodents with placement of an expandable fully covered metal esophageal stent.
