Functional Integration of Autologous Tissue-Engineered Grafts in a Pre-Clinical Esophageal Defect Model
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Congenital and acquired esophageal pathologies such as oesophageal atresia can leave large tissue deficits in patients were insufficient oesophagus exists to restore continuity. Currently, these require replacement by repurposing the stomach, colon or small bowel. The aim of this study was to develop a tissue engineered oesophagus as an alternative, produced using a clinically relevant timescale, and determine feasibility, safety of autologous transplantation of autologous grafts via a thoracic approach in a growing minipig model, together with assessment of function and integration.
