Background For patients with end-stage renal disease who are not candidates for fistula,
dialysis access grafts are the best option for chronic haemodialysis. However …

Tissue engineering of heart valves, small-diameter blood vessels, and myocardial patches is
an exciting field with great clinical potential. The concerted research activity of several …

The quest for suitable conduits for dialysis access has continued since the first patients were
dialysed. Whilst synthetic grafts made from expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) have …

Bioengineered human acellular vessels (HAVs) are tissue-based vascular conduits, which
offer a solution to a problem that many physicians face, namely, that of providing access for …

Tissue-engineered vascular grafts (TEVGs) have the potential to provide life-saving arterial
