Physical shish-kebab modification vs. chemical surface coating on expanded polytetrafluoroethylene vascular grafts for enhanced endothelial cell adhesion

Promoting rapid adhesion of endothelial cells is of significance for the viability of vascular grafts for small-diameter blood vessels (SDBVs) made of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE). Many physical and chemical surface modification methods have been developed to overcome the inertness of eP...
