What is it about?

Respiratory tract fistulas (or fistulae) are abnormal communications between the respiratory system and the digestive tract or the adjacent organs. This manuscript is a comprehensive overview of the main tissue/cell-based clinical studies for the management of various types of respiratory tract fistulas or injuries. Authors reviewed several case reports suggesting that endoscopic local delivery of adipose tissue / adipose tissue derived-mesechymal stromal cells may represent a moderately invasive and a relatively safe treatment option, alternative to aggressive surgery, to promote fistula healing.
