Tissue engineering of small diameter vascular grafts.
Tissue engineering, using either polymer or biological based scaffolds, represents the newest approach to overcoming limitations of small diameter prosthetic vascular grafts. Their disadvantages include thromboembolism and thrombosis, anticoagulant related haemorrhage, compliance mismatch, neointimal hyperplasia, as well as aneurysm formation. This current review represents an overview about pr...
متن کاملA biphasic elastomeric scaffold for tissue engineering a small-diameter blood vessel
Introduction Scaffolds used for tissue engineering should mimic the native structure of target tissues, gradually degrade with tissue formation, and coexist in a mechanically dynamic environment (sustain and recover from various deformations without mechanical irritations to the surrounding tissues[1, 2]). In the anatomy of a native blood vessel, endothelial cells are separated from surrounding...
متن کاملNovel biphasic elastomeric scaffold for small-diameter blood vessel tissue engineering.
Compliance mismatch, thrombosis, and long culture times in vitro remain important challenges to the clinical implementation of a tissue-engineered small-diameter blood vessel (SDBV). To address these issues, we are developing an implantable elastomeric and biodegradable biphasic tubular scaffold. The scaffold design uses connected nonporous and porous phases as a basis to mimic, respectively, t...
متن کاملPolymer scaffolds for small-diameter vascular tissue engineering.
To better engineer small-diameter blood vessels, a few types of novel scaffolds were fabricated from biodegradable poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) by means of thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) techniques. By utilizing the differences in thermal conductivities of the mold materials, the scaffolds with oriented gradient microtubular structures in axial or radial direction were created using be...
متن کاملTissue engineering of recellularized small-diameter vascular grafts.
A tissue-engineered small-diameter arterial graft would be of benefit to patients requiring vascular reconstructive procedures. Our objective was to produce a tissue-engineered vascular graft with a high patency rate that could withstand arterial pressures. Rat arteries were acellularized with a series of detergent solutions, recellularized by incubation with a primary culture of endothelial ce...
