Evaluation of the patency rate and endothelialization of a poly-ε-caprolactone, nanofiber sheet-based vascular graft using a rat abdominal aortic implantation model
PCL grafts can exhibit autologous vessel-like regeneration; nonetheless, regarding patency, grafts made from rolled-up PCL nanofiber sheets have structural weaknesses. Further improvements are required to achieve a long-term and high patency rate for PCL grafts.
