Breaking the Limit of Cardiovascular Regenerative Medicine: Successful 6-Month Goat Implant in World’s First Ascending Aortic Replacement Using Biotube Blood Vessels

This study investigated six-month outcomes of first models of ascending aortic replacement. The molds used to produce the Biotube were implanted subcutaneously in goats. After 2–3 months, the molds were explanted to obtain the Biotubes (inner diameter, 12 mm; wall thickness, 1.5 mm). Next, we perfor...
