Research progress of tissue-engineered vascular graft
Cardiovascular disease has become the leading cause of death worldwide.Vascular implantation(replacement/bypass)is an effective treatment for severe cardiovascular diseases in clinical practice.However,to date,there are no small diameters vascular grafts products available for medical use in clinical practice.Tissue-engineered vascular graft(TEVG)is favored by researchers due to their excellent biocompatibility,which can promote tissue regeneration,host integration,and the realization of vascular function.This article briefly describes the research progress of TEVG in recent years,including preparation techniques,analysis of existing defects,and improvement directions,in order to provide reference for the research and development of TEVG.
