Clinical testing for tissue engineering blood vessel / 国际外科学杂志

ABSTRACT

To seek the ideal replacing grafts of blood vessel,many different methods of tissue engineering blood vessel(TEBV)have been created,such as collagen gel-based,biodegradable scaffold-based,self-assembled vascular grafts,and peritoneal and pleural cavities as bioreactors to grow autologous vascular grafts,etc.Some TEBVs have partially or completely met the requirements for clinic,even have applied in clinic.In this article reviewed,the models with better characters in big animals and clinical tests,and discussed the current problems of TEBV and looked forward to future clinical application.
