## Abstract Small‐diameter blood vessel substitutes are urgently needed for patients requiring replacements of their coronary and below‐the‐knee vessels and for better arteriovenous dialysis shunts. Circulatory diseases, especially those arising from atherosclerosis, are the predominant cause of mo
## Abstract Poly (D,L‐lactide)‐__7co__‐(1,3‐trimethylene carbonate) [P(DLLA‐__co__‐TMC)] (83 mol % DLLA) was used to produce matrices suitable for tissue engineering of small‐diameter blood vessels. The copolymer was processed into tubular structures with a porosity of ∼98% by melt spinning and fib
