Development of tissue engineered blood vessels using cell-seeded acellular porcine arterial scaffolds

The patency rate of small diameter synthetic bypass grafts remains poor. The aim of this study was to develop a biocompatible, acellular, arterial scaffold, assess the scaffolds regenerative capacity using ovine vascular cells and begin preliminary studies of a vascular tissue bioreactor for the dev...
