Covalent modification of pericardial patches for sustained rapamycin delivery inhibits venous neointimal hyperplasia

Prosthetic grafts and patches are commonly used in cardiovascular surgery, however neointimal hyperplasia remains a significant concern, especially under low flow conditions. We hypothesized that delivery of rapamycin from nanoparticles (NP) covalently attached to patches allows sustained site-speci...
