Objective We evaluated swine and bovine pulmonary visceral pleura (PVP) in artery patch-
angioplasty in swine model of high-fat diet. Background Arterial patch-angioplasty is …

Objective This study evaluated swine and bovine pulmonary visceral pleura (PVP) as a
vascular patch. Venous patches are frequently used in surgery for repair or reconstruction of …

Vascular transplantation is an effective strategy against cardiovascular diseases (CVD), and
artificial vascular patches are of urgent need across the world. In this work, we designed a …

Background There is a significant clinical need for small vascular grafts< 1 mm in diameter.
Materials and methods The structure and composition of swine pulmonary visceral pleura …

After an arteriotomy, vascular surgeons typically close medium-diameter arteries with
patches to avoid significant luminal narrowing that can occur after primary closure. We …

We evaluated the application of in vivo tissue-engineered vascular graft (in vivo TEVG) in
pulmonary artery (PA) reconstruction as a substitute for autologous pericardium. From July …

Background Advances in regeneration methods have brought us improved vascular
scaffolds with small diameters (φ< 6 mm) for enhancing biological suitability that solve their …

OBJECTIVES: This study investigated the time-dependent remodeling and growth potential
of porcine small intestine submucosa as a biomaterial for the reconstruction of pulmonary …

Mechanical property mismatch between vascular patches and native blood vessels can
result in post-operation failure; therefore, vascular patches that mimic the biomechanical …

Background There's a large clinical need for novel vascular grafts. Tissue engineered blood
vessels (TEBVs) have great potential to improve the outcome of vascular grafting …
