Evaluation of an engineered vascular graft exhibiting somatic growth in lambs to model repair of absent pulmonary artery branch

Abstract Background Growth is the holy grail of tissue implants in pediatrics. No vascular graft currently in use for surgical repairs of congenital heart defects has somatic growth capacity. Methods Biologically-engineered grafts (6 mm) grown from donor ovine fibroblasts in a sacrificial fibrin gel...
