Abstract:
With the development of diagnosis and treatment,esophageal replacement is required by more and more patients. Esophageal scaffold materials are focus on titanium-nickel alloy,polyethylene,polymer silica gel terylene composite,carbon fiber,and some biomaterials. However,those materials have poor biocompatibility and mechanical compatibility,resulting in high incidence of complications,such as anastomosis fistula,detachment of tube,and stenosis and poorly clinical effect. Whereas,implantation of esophageal scaffold is hopeful for solving the problems mentioned above. Here,we investigate the development and application of esophageal scaffold materials based on tissue engineering technique.
