The effect of preformed confluent endothelial cell monolayers on the patency and thrombogenicity of small calibre vascular grafts

Endothelial cell seeding has been proposed as a method to improve the patency rates in small calibre prosthetic vascular grafts. The seeding methods used at present leave much of the graft luminal surface devoid of endothelial cells and thus still significantly thrombogenic. We have developed a meth...
