Abstract
Outcomes of synthetic biodegradable nanofiber polycaprolactone grafts are not inferior compared with the clinically used expanded polytetrafluoroethylene grafts after long-term implantation in the rat aorta. Moreover, these implants show better patency, compliance, endothelialization, and cell in-growth, and less intimal hyperplasia and calcification than their counterparts.
