Fast degrading elastomer enables rapid remodeling of a cell-free synthetic graft into a neo-artery

Host remodeling is important for the success of medical implants including vascular substitutes. Synthetic and tissue-engineered grafts have yet to show clinical effectiveness in arteries smaller than 5 mm. We designed cell-free biodegradable elastomeric grafts that degrade rapidly to yield neo-arte...
