Use of Human Blood-Derived Endothelial Progenitor Cells to Improve the Performance of Vascular Grafts

<p>Synthetic small diameter vascular grafts fail clinically due to thrombosis and intimal hyperplasia. The attachment of endothelial cells (ECs) onto the inner lumen of synthetic small diameter vascular grafts can improve graft patency; however, significant challenges remain that prevent wide...
