The Effect of Different Thawing Rates on Cryopreserved Human Iliac Arteries Allograft’s Structural Damage and Mechanical Properties

Introduction. The rate of thawing of cryopreserved human iliac arteries allografts (CHIAA) directly affects the severeness of structural changes that occur during this process. Method. The experiment was performed on ten CHIAA. The 10% dimethylsulphoxide in 6% hydroxyethyl starch solution was used a...
