Biological mechanisms of infection resistance in tissue engineered blood vessels compared to synthetic expanded polytetrafluoroethylene grafts

Objective: Synthetic expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) grafts are known to be susceptible to bacterial infection. Results from preclinical and clinical studies of bioengineered human acellular vessels (HAVs) have shown relatively low rates of infection. This study evaluates the interactions o...
