Electrospun poly(l-lactide-co-caprolactone)–collagen–chitosan vascular graft in a canine femoral artery model

Abstract: Poly(L-lactide-co-caprolactone)/collagen/chitosan (P(LLA-CL)/COL/CS) composite grafts were electrospun in this study. Based on the testing results of mechanical properties, biodegradability and in vitro cellular compatibility, the optimal weight ratio of P(LLA-CL) to COL/CS was set as 3:1. In vivo study was further performed in a canine femoral artery model. The results showed that the 3:1 grafts possessed excellent structural integrity, higher patency rate, better endothelial cells (ECs) and smooth muscle cel… Show more

“…For the PLCL fibers (S3), two features at 2948 and 1757 cm -1 can be attributed to the stretching of -CH3 and C=O groups, respectively. The stretching of the C-O-C moiety leads to other two peaks at 1183 and 1093 cm -1 [18]. The spectrum for CIF exhibits peaks at 3042 cm -1 (O-H stretching), 1626 cm -1 (C=O stretching), and numerous bands between 1582 and 1495 cm -1 from stretching vibrations of the benzene ring [47].…”

“…Moreover, the biocompatibility is enhanced by an increasing content of PLCL. This is expected to result from the greater cytocompatibility of PLCL than PNIPAAm; PLCL is widely known to be highly biocompatible [18,69].…”

“…CaES also allows for the incorporation of bioactive substances in the core structure which can then undergo controlled release. In one study, individual fibers were spun with heparin as the core component and a surrounding PLCL/collagen/chitosan shell . ESVGs made from these fibers showed a sustained release of heparin for more than 20 d, resulting in the inhibition of thrombosis and increased graft patency 8 weeks after implantation.…”
