Non-invasive imaging might assist in the clinical translation of tissue-engineered vascular grafts (TEVG). It can e.g. be used to facilitate the implantation of TEVG, to longitudinally monitor their localization and function, and to provide non-invasive and quantitative feedback on their remodeling and resorption. We here incorporated ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide (USPIO) nanoparticles into polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)-based textile fibers, and used them to prepare imageable tissue-engineered vascular grafts (iTEVG). The USPIO-labeled scaffold materials were molded with a mixture of fibrin, fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells, and then endothelialized in a bioreactor under physiological flow conditions. The resulting grafts could be sensitively detected using T1-, T2- and T2*-weighted MRI, both during bioreactor cultivation and upon surgical implantation into sheep, in which they were used as an arteriovenous shunt between the carotid artery and the jugular vein. In vivo, the iTEVG were shown to be biocompatible and functional. Post-mortem ex vivo analyses provided evidence for efficient endothelialization and for endogenous neo-vascularization within the biohybrid vessel wall. These findings show that labeling polymer-based textile materials with MR contrast agents is straightforward and safe, and they indicate that such theranostic tissue engineering approaches might be highly useful for improving the production, performance, personalization and translation of biohybrid vascular grafts. 相似文献

Researchers have attempted to develop efficient antithrombogenic surfaces, and yet small-caliber artificial vascular grafts are still unavailable. Here, we demonstrate the excellent patency of tissue-engineered small-caliber long-bypass grafts measuring 20–30 cm in length and having a 2-mm inner diameter. The inner surface of an acellular ostrich carotid artery was modified with a novel heterobifunctional peptide composed of a collagen-binding region and the integrin α4β1 ligand, REDV. Six grafts were transplanted in the femoral–femoral artery crossover bypass method. Animals were observed for 20 days and received no anticoagulant medication. No thrombogenesis was observed on the luminal surface and five cases were patent. In contrast, all unmodified grafts became occluded, and severe thrombosis was observed. The vascular grafts reported here are the first successful demonstrations of short-term patency at clinically applicable sizes. 相似文献

A novel sutureless vascular connecting system, an assembly with a delivery rod, an introducing sheath, and a connecting device, was developed for easy implantation of small-caliber vascular grafts less than 2 mm in internal diameter. A microporous stainless tube (length 2 mm, external diameter 1.6 mm, wall thickness 65 µm, pore diameter 400 µm, pore-to-pore distance 500 µm) was designed to serve as a connecting device. The feasibility of the system was tested using two types of preliminary animal experiments. One animal model consisted of graft implantation into the rat abdominal aorta (1.5 mm in diameter). The connecting device was inserted into the proximal and distal ends of the aorta through the introducing sheath by pushing the delivery rod with the connecting device placed over it. Subsequently, the aortic segments were inserted into both ends of model grafts made of segmented polyurethane (1.8 mm in internal diameter) and were fixed with banding silk threads from the exterior. The procedure was completed within 20 min without requiring specialized microsurgery techniques. Blood leakage and obstruction did not occur. The second model consisted of an end-to-end anastomosis between rabbit common carotid arteries (2 mm in diameter), which was performed within several minutes of blood flow interruption. Scanning electron microscopy demonstrated that the luminal surface of the device was fully covered with endothelial cells (ECs) after 1 week as a result of transluminal ingrowth of native ECs through the micropores in the device. This endothelialization may prevent early thrombus-induced occlusion. This simple and “easy-to-learn” technique will promote the development of small-caliber arterial grafts, and furthermore, it may have potential for clinical application. 相似文献

The aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of a decellularization protocol on the structure and the mechanical behavior of small-diameter (<6 mm) tibial calf arteries and veins. Calf vessels were decellularized by a detergent-enzymatic method (DEM), partially hydrolyzed with trypsin and subsequently cross-linked using poly(ethylene glycol) diglycidyl ether. Our results showed that i) the DEM can be considered a simple and valuable procedure for the preparation of complete acellular arteries and veins able to preserve a high degree of collagen and elastic fibers, and ii) poly(ethylene glycol) diglycidyl ether cross-linking treatment provides appropriate mechanical reinforcement of blood vessels. Histologically, the decellularized vessels were obtained employing the detergent-enzymatic procedure and their native extracellular matrix histoarchitecture and components remained well preserved. Moreover, the decellularization protocol can be considered an effective method to remove HLA class I antigen expression from small-diameter tibial calf arteries and veins. Cytocompatibility of decellularized cross-linked vessels was evaluated by endothelial and smooth muscle cell seeding on luminal and adventitial vessel surfaces, respectively. 相似文献

For long-term patency of small-caliber vascular prostheses, antithrombogenicity and microporous structure are very important.
We have developed a new technique to give a microporous structure to a polyurethane vascular prosthesis that has favorable
antithrombogenicity. A solution of tetrahydrofuran/dimethylformamide (1 : 1) containing 13 wt% of segmented polyurethane (PTMG
+ MDI) and calcium carbonate (mean particle size, 8 μm) was dipcoated on a glass mandrel 3 mm in diameter and placed into
distilled water. After the glass mandrel was removed, the polyurethane tube was placed into hydrochloric acid, and a microporous
polyurethane vascular prosthesis was produced. Prostheses made in this fashion, and autologous jugular vein grafts were implanted
into the femoral artery and the carotid artery of mongrel dogs. Patency was recognized on the arteriogram and duplex scanning
(ultrasonography), and the removed grafts were inspected macroscopically and microscopically. This prosthesis was similar
in elasticity to a vein graft. Patency was defined 8 weeks after implantation, and this prosthesis showed less intimal hyperplasia
than the autologous vein graft. The new polyurethane prosthesis might be useful for small-caliber vascular reconstruction.

A total of 104 HDS vascular access grafts were implanted in patients with end-stage renal failure. Fortyseven grafts were cannulated within 7 days after implantation (early cannulation), and 57 grafts were cannulated after postoperative day 7 (late cannulation). Comparison of primary and secondary patency rates showed no significant difference between the early and late cannulation groups. The results indicate that early cannulation of the HDS graft is safe and does not adversely affect patency. 相似文献

Although vascular implantation has been used as an effective treatment for cardiovascular disease for many years, off-the-shelf and regenerable vascular scaffolds are still not available. Tissue engineers have tested various materials and methods of surface modification in the attempt to develop a scaffold that is more suitable for implantation. Extracellular matrix-based natural materials and biodegradable polymers, which are the focus of this review, are considered to be suitable materials for production of tissue-engineered vascular grafts. Various methods of surface modification that have been developed will also be introduced, their impacts will be summarized and assessed, and challenges for further research will briefly be discussed. 相似文献

The implantation and post-implantation behaviour of a Solcograft-P vascular prosthesis in the aortic, aorto-iliac, carotid and vena caval positions in dogs was studied up to 100 d post-surgery in order to assess the suitability of this vascular material for use in man. Solcograft-P is prepared from the carotid arteries of calves by crosslinking the collagen stroma using adipyl dichloride. During the postoperative follow-up period of 3 month, 100% of the aortal grafts, 80% of the aorto-iliac bypasses, 60% of the vena caval grafts and 35% of the carotid implants remained patent. The biochemical properties of the Solcograft-P are better than those of Solcograft, its predecessor. The intimal lining was consistently smooth and homogeneous in grafts of biological origin, and no aneurysm was observed. Infection and early thrombosis occured no more frequently than with other grafts. The new Solcograft-P, crosslinked via ester and amide groups, seems to represent a real improvement over Solcograft. Our results suggest that Solcograft-P should prove valuable in various cases of reconstructive vascular surgery of the lower limb, especially when the autologous vena saphena magna is not available, and its mechanical properties may well prove suitable for both arterial and venous replacement. 相似文献

The goal of regenerative medicine is to achieve histological and functional recovery to the level of the original tissue. For this purpose, we have developed a biodegradable scaffold to create cell-free in-situ tissue-engineered vasculature (iTEV) with good long-term results. However, the regeneration process of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) over time has yet to be examined. To evaluate the regeneration ability of VSMCs, the inferior vena cava of experimental animals was replaced with iTEV, and tested at 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months (n = 6 each) after implantation. Six animals were enrolled to compare 24-month iTEV and native vasculature in single individual samples. There were no complications throughout the study. Immunohistology, protein expression analysis, and biochemical findings indicate that iTEV can gradually regenerate and develop into a mature vessel within 24 months using our biodegradable scaffold. These results provide a time course for the regeneration of VSMCs within the tissue-engineered vascular autograft constructed using a biodegradable scaffold. 相似文献

The development of vascular grafts has focused on finding a biomaterial that is non-thrombogenic, minimizes intimal hyperplasia, matches the mechanical properties of native vessels and allows for regeneration of arterial tissue. In this study, the structural and mechanical properties and the vascular cell compatibility of electrospun recombinant human tropoelastin (rTE) were evaluated as a potential vascular graft support matrix. Disuccinimidyl suberate (DSS) was used to cross-link electrospun rTE fibers to produce a polymeric recombinant tropoelastin (prTE) matrix that is stable in aqueous environments. Tubular 1 cm diameter prTE samples were constructed for uniaxial tensile testing and 4 mm small-diameter prTE tubular scaffolds were produced for burst pressure and cell compatibility evaluations from 15 wt.% rTE solutions. Uniaxial tensile tests demonstrated an average ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of 0.36 ± 0.05 MPa and elastic moduli of 0.15 ± 0.04 and 0.91 ± 0.16 MPa, which were comparable to extracted native elastin. Burst pressures of 485 ± 25 mm Hg were obtained from 4 mm internal diameter scaffolds with 453 ± 74 μm average wall thickness. prTE supported endothelial cell growth with typical endothelial cell cobblestone morphology after 48 h in culture. Cross-linked electrospun rTE has promising properties for utilization as a vascular graft biomaterial with customizable dimensions, a compliant matrix and vascular cell compatibility. 相似文献

Prosthetic vascular graft infection (PVGI) is a devastating complication, with a mortality rate of up to 75%, which is especially caused by aortic graft infection. The purpose of this study was to evaluate factors associated with in-hospital mortality of patients with definite graft infection, and with long-term outcome. We reviewed medical records of 85 patients treated for PVGIs defined by positive bacterial culture of intraoperative specimens or blood samples, and/or clinical, biological and radiological signs of infection. In-hospital patient mortality was defined as any death occurring during the initial treatment of the graft infection. Cure was defined as the absence of evidence of relapsing infection during long-term follow-up (≥1 year). Eighty-five patients (54 aortic and 31 limb graft infections) treated by surgical debridement and removal of the infected prosthesis (n=41), surgical debridement without removal of prosthesis (n=34) or antimicrobial treatment without surgery (n=10) were studied. The only microbiological difference observed between patients with early (occurring within 4 months after surgery) vs. late PVGI and between those with aortic vs. limb PVGI was the incidence of PVGI caused by Staphylococcus aureus, which was greater in patients with limb PVGI. Overall cure was observed in 93.2% of 59 patients with a follow-up of a minimum of 1 year. Overall in-hospital mortality was 16.5% (n=14). Two variables were independently associated with mortality: age >70 years (OR 9.1, 95% CI 1.83-45.43, p 0.007) and aortic graft infection (OR 5.6, 95% CI 1.1-28.7, p 0.037). 相似文献

In response to the demand for a vascular prosthesis which achieves reliable haemostasis without preclotting, a new compound albumin/polyester prosthesis has been developed. In order to optimize the sterilization procedures for this device, two series of implantations in the thoracic aorta of dogs were undertaken to compare the effects of ethylene oxide (EtO) and gamma-radiation. Preclotted polyester prostheses were implanted in two additional control series. Pathological analysis of the explanted grafts indicated that gamma-radiation is to be preferred over EtO because it results in faster rates of healing. While the albumin coating delayed the thrombotic response and fibrinolytic activity, the extent of healing of the radiation sterilized graft was equivalent to that achieved by preclotted polyester prostheses in the medium and long term. Measurements of the strength and dimensional changes of the graft demonstrated that, in addition to reducing the risks of acute thrombosis and postoperative haemorrhage, the albumin coating improves the dimensional stability of the knitted structure. 相似文献

Late outgrowth endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) derived from the peripheral blood of patients with significant coronary artery disease were sodded into the lumens of small diameter expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) vascular grafts. Grafts (1 mm inner diameter) were denucleated and sodded either with native EPCs or with EPCs transfected with an adenoviral vector containing the gene for human thrombomodulin (EPC + AdTM). EPC + AdTM was shown to increase the in vitro rate of graft activated protein C (APC) production 4-fold over grafts sodded with untransfected EPCs (p < 0.05). Unsodded control and EPC-sodded and EPC + AdTM-sodded grafts were implanted bilaterally into the femoral arteries of athymic rats for 7 or 28 days. Unsodded control grafts, both with and without denucleation treatment, each exhibited 7 day patency rates of 25%. Unsodded grafts showed extensive thrombosis and were not tested for patency over 28 days. In contrast, grafts sodded with untransfected EPCs or EPC + AdTM both had 7 day patency rates of 88-89% and 28 day patency rates of 75-88%. Intimal hyperplasia was observed near both the proximal and distal anastomoses in all sodded graft conditions but did not appear to be the primary occlusive failure event. This in vivo study suggests autologous EPCs derived from the peripheral blood of patients with coronary artery disease may improve the performance of synthetic vascular grafts, although no differences were observed between untransfected EPCs and TM transfected EPCs. 相似文献

Purpose
The present study was aimed to assess the feasibility of using decellularized aortic allograft in a rat small animal surgical model for conducting small diameter vascular tissue engineering research.Materials and Methods
Decellularized aortic allografts were infra-renally implanted in 12 Sprague-Dawley (SD) adult rats. The conduits were harvested at 2 (n = 6) and 8 weeks (n = 6), and assessed by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), van Gieson, Masson Trichrome staining, and immunohistochemistry for von Willebrand factor, CD 31+, and actin.Results
Consistent, predictable, and reproducible results were produced by means of a standardized surgical procedure. All animals survived without major complications. Inflammatory immune reaction was minimal, and there was no evidence of aneurysmal degeneration or rupture of the decellularized vascular implants. However, the aortic wall appeared thinner and the elastic fibers in the medial layer showed decreased undulation compared to the normal aorta. There was also minimal cellular repopulation of the vascular media. The remodeling appeared progressive from 2 to 8 weeks with increased intimal thickening and accumulation of both collagen and cells staining for actin. Although the endothelial like cells appeared largely confluent at 8 weeks, they were not as concentrated in appearance as in the normal aorta.Conclusion
The results showed the present rat animal model using decellularized vascular allograft implants to be a potentially durable and effective experimental platform for conducting further research on small diameter vascular tissue engineering. 相似文献16.
