The Influence of Node-Fibril Morphology on Healing of High-Porosity Expanded Polytetrafluoroethylene Grafts

Abstract

In high-porosity ePTFE vascular grafts, graft healing enhanced by transmural tissue ingrowth may be not largely dependent on node-fibril morphology. This knowledge will be helpful to design a new type of high-porosity ePTFE vascular grafts available for clinical use.
