Application of decellularized vascular matrix in small-diameter vascular grafts
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023 Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) remains the most common procedure used in cardiovascular surgery for the treatment of severe coronary atherosclerotic heart disease. In coronary artery bypass grafting, small-diameter vascular grafts can potentially

Development of Small-Diameter Elastin-Silk Fibroin Vascular Grafts
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2021 Globally, increasing mortality from cardiovascular disease has become a problem in recent years. Vascular replacement has been used as a treatment for these diseases, but with blood vessels <6 mm in diameter, existing vascular grafts made of synthetic

Disruption of a Covered Nitinol Self Expanding Stent Graft Implanted in the Common Femoral Artery
EJVES Vascular Forum, 2020 Introduction: Common femoral artery aneurysm is a rare condition and can be treated by open or endovascular surgery. There is a general understanding that open surgery is the recommended option because of the anatomical location and the biomechanical ...
