Development of a hybrid artificial blood vessel using polyurethane modified with extracellular matrix
2008-01-01
Abstract excerpt
The development of an artificial bypass graft for the treatment of peripheral vascular disease would overcome the limitations of using autologous veins. An ideal graft would be a tubular structure made from an elastomeric polymer. Layers of autologous cells would then be cultured on the inside of the tube in order to render the graft nonthrombogenic. The aim of this work was to modify the surface of a polyurethane...
