Abstract
ePTFE grafts covalently coated with a semisynthetic SSHS-glycosaminoglycan successfully mimicked the endothelial glycocalyx. They displayed excellent antiadhesive properties preventing neointimal formation on the graft surface. The results indicate that a biomimetic SSHS coating may be a useful component of bioengineered grafts and an alternative to synthetic surfaces and endothelial seeding.
