Native grafts such as internal mammary artery and saphenous vein are the main choice for
coronary artery bypass graft. However, due to the limitations associated with their availability …

The main challenge encountered in clinical efficacy of tissue engineered vascular grafts is
development of a biomimetic scaffold. To establish a scaffold resembling the architecture of …

Tissue engineering techniques particularly using electrospun scaffolds have been
intensively used in recent years for the development of small diameter vascular grafts …

Small diameter vascular grafts (< 6 mm) are highly demanded for patients suffering from
severe occluded arteries to be used as a bypass or substituted conduit. Fabricating a graft …

Fabricating a biocompatible small-diameter vascular graft (< 6 mm) with mechanical
properties similar to the natural vein and adding good anti-thrombogenic, endothelialization …

Of the qualities small caliber artificial vascular scaffolds must possess for application in
modified Blalock-Taussig (BT) surgery, effective anticoagulation and mechanical …

Due to high incidence of vascular bypass procedures, an unmet need for suitable vessel
replacements exists, especially for small-diameter (<; 6 mm) vascular grafts. Here we …

The objective of this study is to design a novel kind of scaffolds for blood vessel and nerve
repairs. Random and aligned nanofibrous scaffolds based on collagen–chitosan …

The demand for small-diameter blood vessel substitutes has been increasing due to a
shortage of autograft vessels and problems with thrombosis and intimal hyperplasia with …

Mimicking the mechanical properties of native tissue is an important requirement for tissue
engineering scaffolds. Blood vessels are subject to repetitive dilation and contraction and …
