Total cavopulmonary connection with a new bioabsorbable vascular graft: First clinical experience

Initial clinical experience with a novel absorbable graft underlines the potential of this new material to improve cardiac and vascular surgical procedures. In addition, better biocompatibility may reduce permanent implant-related complications. A longer follow-up is needed to assess the long-term effectiveness of biodegradable vascular grafts, including their ability to grow.
