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 …

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

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 …

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 …

A new electrospinning approach for fabricating vascular grafts with a layered,
circumferentially aligned, and micro‐wavy fibrous structure similar to natural elastic tissues …

Electrospun polymeric meshes are known to exhibit promising properties for the
regeneration of several soft tissues. Herein, electrospun polymeric meshes were prepared …

We investigated the performance of small-caliber polyurethane (PU) small-diameter
vascular prosthesis generated using the electrospinning technique. PU was electrospun into …

Pore size and porosity control the rate and depth of cellular migration in electrospun
vascular fabrics and thus have a strong impact on long-term graft success. In this study we …

Engineered small diameter vascular grafts must closely match mechanical characteristics of
native vessels and exhibit stimulus‐responsive bioactivity. In this study, mechanical …

To fabricate a “mechano‐active” tubular scaffold of nonwoven mesh‐type small‐diameter
artificial graft made of the synthetic durable elastomer, segmented polyurethane, the …
