Small-diameter hybrid vascular grafts composed of polycaprolactone and polydioxanone fibers

Abstract Electrospun polycaprolactone (PCL) vascular grafts showed good mechanical properties and patency. However, the slow degradation of PCL limited vascular regeneration in the graft. Polydioxanone (PDS) is a biodegradable polymer with high mechanical strength and moderate degradation rate in vi...
