Radial artery as an autologous cell source for valvular tissue engineering efforts.

Abstract excerpt

To create a viable tissue-engineered aortic valve, it is important to identify suitable autologous cell sources that may be seeded onto a biocompatible scaffold. This study focused on the radial artery (RA) as one possible source, investigated optimal culture conditions, and determined the usefulness of small intestinal submucosa (SIS) as a scaffold for tissue-engineering. Porcine RA cells were cultured on either...
