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 …

General physicochemical properties of the vascular grafts (VGs) produced from the solutions
of Tecoflex (Tec) with gelatin (GL) and bivalirudin (BV) by electrospinning are studied. The …

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 …

Small-diameter synthetic vascular grafts have high failure rate due to primarily surface
thrombogenicity, and effective surface chemical modification is critical to maintain the …

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 …

We evaluated the extent (luminal coverage) of the endothelial cell (EC) lining/neointimal
development and the thromboresistance of electrostatically EC seeded small diameter …

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 …

Objective To develop a small-caliber vascular grafts and study its morphologies, mechanical
properties and biocompatibility. Methods The effects of electrospinning conditions on the …

The patency of small-diameter (< 6 mm) synthetic vascular grafts (VGs) is still limited by the
absence of a confluent, blood flow-resistant monolayer of endothelial cells (ECs) on the …

An off‐the‐shelf, small diameter tissue engineered vascular graft (TEVG) would be
transformative to surgeons in multiple subspecialties. Herein, the results of a small diameter …
