Dehydration improves biomechanical strength of bioartificial vascular graft material and allows its long-term storage
We have recently reported about a novel technique for the generation of bioartificial vascular grafts based on the use of a compacted fibrin matrix. In this study, we evaluated the effects of a dehydration process on the biomechanical properties of compacted fibrin tubes and whether it allows for th...
