Tubular TPU/SF nanofibers covered with chitosan-based hydrogels as small-diameter vascular grafts with enhanced mechanical properties
Abstract Native grafts such as internal mammary artery and saphenous vein are the main choice for coronary artery bypass graft. However, due to the limitations associated with their availability and rapid failure caused by hyperplasia, small diameter tissue-engineered vascular grafts (TEVGs) with su...
