In vivo recellularization of xenogeneic vascular grafts decellularized with high hydrostatic pressure method in a porcine carotid arterial interpose model.

Autologous vascular grafts are widely used in revascularization surgeries for small caliber targets. However, the availability of autologous conduits might be limited due to prior surgeries or the quality of vessels. Xenogeneic decellularized vascular grafts from animals can potentially be a substit...
