## Abstract Small‐diameter vascular grafts are potential substitutes for damaged vessels in patients, but most biodegradable grafts available now are not strong enough. The present study examined the burst strength, radial compliance, suture retention strength for a novel biodegradable tubular scaf

## Abstract In the development of small‐caliber vascular grafts (diameter; less than 3 mm), animal implantation studies have been mostly performed by using rat abdominal aortas, and their certain patency must evaluate with sacrificing every observation periods, which is both labor‐intensive and tim
## Abstract Because of the severe increase of mortality by cardiovascular diseases, there has been rising interest among the tissue‐engineering community for small‐sized blood vessel substitutes. Here we present small diameter vascular grafts made of slow degradable poly(ε‐caprolactone) nanofibers
## Abstract A mold for the preparation of an in‐body tissue architecture‐induced autologous vascular graft, termed “biotube,” was prepared by covering a main silicone rod (outer diameter, 3 mm; length, 30 mm) with two pieces of polyurethane sponge tubes (internal diameter, 3 mm; length, 3 mm) at bo
