Development of a Hybrid Artificial Blood Vessel Using Polyurethane Modified with Extracellular Matrix

The development of an artificial bypass graft for the treatment of peripheral vascular disease would overcome the limitations of using autologous veins. An ideal graft would be a tubular structure made from an elastomeric polymer. Layers of autologous cells would then be cultured on the inside of th...
