Engineering arterial substitutes that recapitulate vessel microstructure and mimic native physiological responses
Engineering small caliber (< 6mm) arterial grafts remains an unsolved problem. Current synthetic and autologous grafts suffer from short and long-term limitations including decreased patency rates, risk of bacterial infection, and compliance mismatching that results in neointimal hyperplasia. …

Computer Modelling Informed Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
… has been recent interest in the exclusive use of arterial grafts as conduits for this operation, in particular bilateral internal mammary arteries, on account of their longevity. However, there still exists significant variability in grafting strategy amongst cardiac surgeons and there remains …

Der femoropopliteale P1-Bypass mittels Fluoropassiv - Erfahrungen mit einem neuen alloplastischen Gefäßersatz
Fragestellung: Das Gefäßersatzmaterial der Wahl für infrainguinale Gefäßrekonstruktionen ist die autologe V.saphena magna. Alternativ kommen alloplastische Prothesen aus Dacron und Polytetrafluoroethylen zum Einsatz. Die vorliegende prospektive nicht-randomisierte Studie vergleicht die …

In vitro endothelialization of vascular prostheses: a possible means to improve the early patency of small diameter vascular grafts
… for the unsatisfying performance of synthetic arterial grafts, we attempted to create an endothelium on the prosthetic surface by lining the graft with cultured endothelial cells. To provide sufficient cell-numbers for lining, a rapid and reliable harvest technique had to be developed first. In …
