Development of small diameter nanofiber tissue engineered arterial grafts.

Development of small diameter nanofiber tissue engineered arterial grafts.

The surgical repair of heart and vascular disease often requires implanting synthetic grafts. While synthetic grafts have been successfully used for medium-to-large sized arteries, applications for small diameter arteries (<6 mm) is limited due to high rates of occlusion by thrombosis.
