Introduction The production of artificial vascular grafts of small diameter is a fluorescing line of investigation. PVA is a biomaterial that has been used for several biomedical applications and nowadays as a vascular graft. However the mechanical properties were never characterized in vitro. It was our objective to produce small diameter PVA grafts and characterize their physical and mechanical properties for...
Application of vascular grafts of the polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel (PVA) associated with MSCs from Wharton jelly in an animal model (sheep). N Alexandre, MA Lopes, N Fernandes, M Rodrigues, I Amorim, AC Mauricio, AL Luís Introduction: There is a great demand for new artificial vascular grafts of small diameter (< 6 mm) due to the functional limitations of the currently used biomaterials (ePTFE and Dacron). Polyv...
