Restenosis after catheter or surgical intervention substantially affects the prognosis of arterial occlusive disease. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) may have antistenotic effects on injured arteries. MSC transplantation from the adventitial side of an artery is safer than endovascular transplantation but has not been extensively examined. In this study, a rat model of femoral artery injury was used to compare the antistenotic effects of transplanted cell sheets and transplanted cell suspensions. Rat adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) were used as the source of MSCs. For both cell sheets and suspensions, 6x10(6) MSCs were transplanted on the day of arterial injury. MSC sheets attenuated neointimal hyperplasia more than MSC suspensions (intima-to-media ratio in hematoxylin/eosin-stained sections: 0.55 +/- 0.13 vs. 1.14 +/- 0.12; p
