Development of a tissue engineering strategy to create highly compliant blood vessels
Compliance mismatch is a significant hurdle to long-term patency in small-diameter arterial bypass grafts. Vascular tissue engineering has the potential to produce compliant, non-thrombogenic small-diameter grafts. However, current engineered grafts are relatively non-compliant, resulting in intimal...
