Abstract:Cardiovascular disease is one of the diseases with the highest morbidity and mortality rates worldwide, and coronary artery bypass grafting is a fast and effective treatment. More researchers are investigating in artificial blood vessels due to the limitations of autologous blood vessels. Despite the availability of large‐diameter vascular grafts (Ø>6 mm) for clinical use, small‐diameter vascular grafts (Ø<6 mm) have been a challenge for researchers to overcome in recent years. Vascular grafts made of po… Show more
