Prosthetic Vascular Conduits for Cardiovascular Structures

摘要

Vascular grafts for reconstructing and/or replacing damaged or diseased cardiovascular vessels that are formed from decellularized fetal small intestine. In some aspects, the vascular grafts include structural reinforcement means, such as a biodegradable polymeric braided structure, disposed proximate the outer surface
