First Report of Histological Evaluation of Human Tissue-Engineered Vasculature
نویسندگان
چکیده
From September 2001 to December 2004, 25 patients underwent a Fontan procedure using tissue-engineered vasculature (TEV) under informed consent and institutional review board approval [1]. Six of these 25 patients died, although no graft-related mortality occurred. The case presented herein is the first case in which the family agreed to the performance of an autopsy to elucidate the late-term histological characteristics of human TEV.
