In a particularly noteworthy case, the use of marker bands in vascular surgery enabled exceptionally accurate graft placements, resulting in shorter recovery periods and a decrease in complication rates. ...
Abstract : Intimal hyperplasia is one of the prominent failure mechanisms for arteriovenous fistulas and arteriovenous access grafts. Human tissue-engineered vascular grafts (TEVGs) were implanted as arteriovenous grafts in a novel baboon model. ...
To address these limitations, an islet transplantation approach using an acellular vascular graft as a vascular scaffold has been developed, termed the BioVascular Pancreas (BVP). To create the BVP, islets are seeded as an outer coating on the surface of an acellular vascular graft, using fibrin as a hydrogel ...
Background: Synthetic expanded polytetrafluorethylene (ePTFE) grafts are routinely used for vascular repair and reconstruction but prone to sustained bacterial infections. ...
These findings would facilitate the development of novel vascular grafts, heart valves, and cell based therapies for cardiovascular diseases. ...
Dermal substitutes are often used for patients who have sustained: Partial and full-thickness wounds Pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, venous ulcers, chronic ulcers, and vascular ulcers Surgical wounds (donor sites/grafts, post-Mohs surgery, post-laser surgery, podiatric, and wound dehiscence) Trauma wounds (abrasions, lacerations, second-degree burns, and ...
In many cases, large full-thickness wounds may require temporization due to the lack of suitable donor sites for primary skin grafting. Clinical research[1] indicates the temporization of deep, large wounds with dermal scaffolds can not only help provide physiological wound closure but also produce good functional and cosmetic outcomes. ...
Objective: Patients with end stage renal failure who require haemodialysis suffer morbidity and mortality due to vascular access. Bioengineered human acellular vessels (HAVs) may provide a haemodialysis access option with fewer complications than other grafts. ...
ABSTRACT Infection of prosthetic vascular grafts can manifest as pain, pseudoaneurysms, or arterial insufficiency in the leg. ...
Tissue engineering small diameter vascular grafts requires excessive culture times to produce an appropriate extracellular matrix (ECM). ...
Introduction Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States [1]. Currently, stents and vascular grafts are the primary therapeutic methods for treatment of cardiovascular diseases. ...
