Preparation and characterization of small-diameter decellularized scaffolds for vascular tissue engineering in an animal model

Abstract Background The development of a suitable extracellular matrix (ECM) scaffold is the first step in vascular tissue engineering (VTE). Synthetic vascular grafts are available as an alternative to autologous vessels in large-diameter arteries (>8 mm) and medium-diameter arteries (6–8 mm). I...
