“…Owing to both rapidly degrading graft material and increased porosity the authors demonstrated that: cell adhesion was timely, graft material was safe for implantation without leakage or rupture, and the remodeling process occurred at a rapid rate, resulting in a robust and compliant neo-artery (with intact three-layered vessel architecture). In terms of long-term results in rodents, the same group has demonstrated that, at one year post-implant, the cell-free approach maintained gross appearance similar to native aorta, which similar tissue architecture and response to vasoactive substances as native arteries [33]. This newer, cell-free approach, coupled with the easy handling characteristics of these grafts, has challenged prior conventional thinking regarding the remodeling process -that it should be ''slow'' and hence grafts should be designed to be somewhat resistant to remodeling in the immediate post-implantation period [32,33].…”
