Endothelial Cell Lining of PET Vascular Prostheses: Modification with Degradable Polyester-based Copolymers and Adhesive Protein Multi-layers

Abstract: Background: Bypass surgery for atherosclerosis is confronted with the absence of endothelial cells in the lumen of vascular prosthesis in humans. This imposes a risk of thrombosis. New biomaterials try to minimize surface thrombogenicity.

“…Differences in the mechanical properties between the prosthetic graft and the native aorta can have unwanted hemodynamic effects such as pressure and flow of the vasculature, causes excessive stresses at the suture lines which can lead to anastomotic aneurysms, intimal hyperplasia and eventually to graft failure (23). It is well-known that PET vascular replacements have relatively good mechanical characteristics in terms of their ability to withstand cyclic loads produced by pulsatile blood flow (24). However, compared to the native blood vessels, PET prosthetic materials are stiffer and less compliant.…”
