METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR ENHANCING VASCULAR ACCESS |
摘要 |
<p num="1"><br/><br/><br/>Disclosed is an implantable material comprising a biocompatible matrix and <br/>cells which, when provided to a vascular access structure, can promote <br/>functionality generally. For example, implantable material of the present <br/>invention can enhance maturation of an arteriovenous native fistula as well as <br/>prolong the fistula in a mature, functional state suitable for dialysis. <br/>Additionally, the present invention can promote formation of a functional <br/>arteriovenous graft suitable for dialysis as well as promote formation of a <br/>functional peripheral bypass graft. Implantable material can be configured as <br/>a flexible planar form or a flowable composition with shape~retaining <br/>properties suitable for implantation at, adjacent or in the vicinity of an <br/>anastomoses or arteriovenous graft. According to the methods disclosed herein, <br/>the implantable material is provided to an exterior surface of a blood vessel. <br/>Certain embodiments of the flexible planar form define a slot. The materials <br/>and methods of the present invention comprise cells, preferably endothelial <br/>cells or cells having an endothelial-like phenotype.<br/>
