Coronary artery bypass grafting is one of the most commonly performed major surgeries in
the United States. Autologous vessels such as the saphenous vein are the current gold …

Wall stress is often lower in tissue-engineered constructs than in comparable native tissues
due to the use of stiff polymeric materials having thicker walls. In this work, we sought to …

Biofabrication approaches toward the development of tissue-engineered vascular grafts
(TEVGs) have been widely investigated. However, successful translation has been limited to …

Application of tissue-engineered vascular grafts (TEVGs) for the replacement of small-
diameter arteries is limited due to thrombosis and intimal hyperplasia. Previous studies have …

Based on a postulate that the microstructure of a scaffold can influence that of the resulting
tissue and hence its mechanical behavior, we fabricated a small-diameter tubular scaffold …

Novel polymeric micro-nanostructure meshes as blood vessels substitute have been
developed and investigated as a potential solution to the lack of functional synthetic small …

Mismatch in mechanical properties between synthetic vascular graft and arteries contribute
to graft failure. The viscoelastic properties of arteries are conferred by elastin and collagen …

In this work, electrospun tubes of interest for vascular tissue engineering were fabricated
and evaluated for burst pressure and suture retention strength (SRS) in the same context as …

The biostability of the polyurethanes Tecoflex EG-80A and Pellethane 2363-80A, used as
basic polymers of the vascular grafts (VGs) produced by electrospinning, as well as the …

Polymer scaffolds produced through an electrospinning process are frequently explored as
tissue substitutes for regenerative medicine. Despite offering desirable surface area to …
