The development and mechanical characterisation of a novel reinforced venous conduit that mimics the mechanical properties of an arterial wall

Venous grafts have been used to bypass stenotic arteries for many decades. However, this “gold standard” treatment is far from optimal, with long-term vein graft patency rates reported to be as low as 50% at >15 years. These results could be a result of the structural and functional differences o...
