Abstract:Introduction
Current animal models of brain aneurysms used for testing neuro‐interventional devices have highly simplistic vascular anatomy in comparison with human aneurysm‐parent vessel complexes. Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) is a leading biomaterial for manufacture of artificial vascular grafts because of its biocompatibility, hemocompatibility, availability, low cost, moldability/castability, and tunable mechanical properties to match arterial compliance [1,2]. However, PVA is non‐cell adhesive an… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
