The Evolution of Tissue Engineered Vascular Graft Technologies: From Preclinical Trials to Advancing Patient Care

The Evolution of Tissue Engineered Vascular Graft Technologies: From Preclinical Trials to Advancing Patient Care

Currently available synthetic grafts have contributed to improved outcomes in cardiovascular surgery. However, the implementation of these graft materials at small diameters have demonstrated poor patency, inhibiting their use for coronary artery bypass surgery in adults. Additionally, when applied...
