Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023 Vascular grafts are widely used for vascular surgeries, to bypass a diseased artery or function as a vascular access for hemodialysis. Bioengineered or tissue-engineered vascular grafts have long been envisioned to take the place of bioinert synthetic ...

Polyester Vascular Graft Material and Risk for Intracavitary Thoracic Vascular Graft Infection
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2020 Prosthetic vascular graft infections of the thoracic aorta are rare but can be fatal. Our comparison of collagen- and gelatin-coated grafts showed that collagen-coated grafts were associated with increased biofilm formation and bacterial adherence in ...

Intraluminal application of vascular endothelial growth factor enhances healing of microvascular anastomosis in a rat model [PDF]
, 2005 Background: Early reconstitution after injury to the endothelium is an important feature for reducing a number of vessel wall pathologies. We investigated the effect of vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF) and its impact on the vascular remodeling ...
