Development and in vivo validation of tissue-engineered, small-diameter vascular grafts from decellularized aortae of fetal pigs and canine vascular endothelial cells

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2017
Background Tissue engineering has emerged as a promising alternative for small-diameter vascular grafts. The aim of this study was to determine the feasibility of using decellularized aortae of fetal pigs (DAFPs) to construct tissue-engineered, small ...

Vascular endothelial growth factor attenuates neointimal hyperplasia of decellularized small-diameter vascular grafts by modulating the local inflammatory response

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022
Small-diameter vascular grafts (diameter <6 mm) are in high demand in clinical practice. Neointimal hyperplasia, a common complication after implantation of small-diameter vascular grafts, is one of the common causes of graft failure.

Perivascular mast cells regulate vein graft neointimal formation and remodeling [PDF]

, 2015
Objective. Emerging evidence suggests an important role for mast cells in vein graft failure. This study addressed the hypothesis that perivascular mast cells regulate in situ vascular inflammatory and proliferative responses and subsequent vein graft ...

Vascular graft infections

Swiss Medical Weekly, 2013
Vascular procedures are rarely complicated by infection, but if prosthetic vascular graft infection (PVGI) occurs, morbidity and mortality are high. Several patient-related, surgery-related and postoperative risk factors are reported, but they are not well validated.

In vivo recellularization of xenogeneic vascular grafts decellularized with high hydrostatic pressure method in a porcine carotid arterial interpose model.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Autologous vascular grafts are widely used in revascularization surgeries for small caliber targets. However, the availability of autologous conduits might be limited due to prior surgeries or the quality of vessels.

Vascular grafts and flow-through flaps for microsurgical lower extremity reconstruction [PDF]

, 2017
Background: The use of vascular grafts is indicated in case of insufficient pedicle length or for complex defects involving both soft tissues and vessels.

Surface modification of hydrophobic polymers for improvement of endothelial cell-surface interactions [PDF]

, 1992
The aim of this study is to improve the interaction of endothelial cells with polymers used in vascular prostheses. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE; Teflon) films were treated by means of nitrogen and oxygen plasmas.

Photooxidation and Pentagalloyl Glucose Cross-Linking Improves the Performance of Decellularized Small-Diameter Vascular Xenograft In Vivo

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022
Small-diameter vascular grafts have a significant need in peripheral vascular surgery and procedures of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG); however, autografts are not always available, synthetic grafts perform poorly, and allografts and xenografts ...

The vasculature and its role in the damaged and healing tendon [PDF]

, 2002
Tendon pathology has many manifestations, from spontaneous rupture to chronic tendinitis or tendinosis; the etiology and pathology of each are very different, and poorly understood. Tendon is a comparatively poorly vascularised tissue that relies heavily
