Objective Many patients who require hemodialysis treatment will often require a prosthetic
graft after multiple surgeries. However, the patency rate of grafts currently available …

Objective Prosthetic grafts are often needed in open vascular procedures. However, the
smaller diameter prosthetic grafts (< 6 mm) have low patency and often result in …

Tissue engineered vascular grafts (TEVGs) have the potential to overcome the issues faced
by existing small diameter prosthetic grafts by providing a biodegradable scaffold where the …

Introduction There is a growing need for small-diameter (< 6 mm) off-the-shelf synthetic
vascular conduits for different surgical bypass procedures, with actual synthetic conduits …

Background Tissue-engineered vascular grafts (TEVGs) offer potential to overcome
limitations of current approaches for reconstruction in congenital heart disease by providing …

Quick establishment of a confluent and stable endothelial cells (ECs) layer in the lumen of
vascular grafts is critical for long‐term patency of small‐diameter vascular grafts. The …

The surgical repair of heart and vascular disease often requires implanting synthetic grafts.
While synthetic grafts have been successfully used for medium-to-large sized arteries …

Tissue-engineered vascular grafts (TEVGs) made of human textiles have been recently
introduced and offer remarkable biocompatibility as well as tunable mechanical properties …

The durability of prosthetic arteriovenous (AV) grafts for hemodialysis access is low,
predominantly due to stenotic lesions in the venous outflow tract and infectious …

Inhibiting thrombus formation and intimal hyperplasia is essential for orthotopic tissue-
engineered vascular grafts. The matching mechanical properties of autologous blood …
