Artificial Vascular Graft

 

  • Synthetic tubular element comprising a first end, a second end, an exterior surface, and interior surface that describe a lumen.
  • It also has a coating of adhesion matrix on the interior surface
  • A plurality of endothelial cells seeded and cultured on the interior surface of the tubular element. Here, the endothelial cells are genetically altered to express or over-express a full length human fibulin-5 polypeptide.
