Surface modification of decellularized bovine carotid arteries with human vascular cells significantly reduces their thrombogenicity

Abstract Background Since autologous veins are unavailable when needed in more than 20% of cases in vascular surgery, the production of personalized biological vascular grafts for implantation has become crucial. Surface modification of decellularized xenogeneic grafts with vascular cells to achieve...
