A novel hybrid silk-fibroin/polyurethane three-layered vascular graft: towards in situ tissue-engineered vascular accesses for haemodialysis

Biomedical Materials, 2019
Clinically available alternatives of vascular access for long-term haemodialysis—currently limited to native arteriovenous fistulae and synthetic grafts—suffer from several drawbacks and are associated to high failure rates.

Bioengineered Small-Diameter Vascular Xenografts as an Alternative to Autologous Vascular Grafting for Emergency Revascularization – a Preliminary Study

Journal of Cardiovascular Emergencies, 2023
Autologous vascular arterial or venous graft are not available in 10-40% of patients, due to vascular pathologies, and the utility of decellularized biological scaffolds would be a solution for those cases.

DELP Treatment on Vision and Retinal Microcirculation in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke: Report of Five Cases and Literature Review

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The delipid extracorporeal lipoprotein filter from plasma (DELP) treatment can effectively reduce blood lipid, increase blood flow, and improve neurological deficits in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). However, its effect on vision and retinal microcirculation in stroke patients has never been reported.
