This project develops biodegradable and biofunctional small diameter vascular grafts for cardiovascular surgery. Utilizing natural polymers, the grafts aim to improve biocompatibility and durability, offering a low-cost solution for patients requiring bypass surgery.
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading causes of mortality in Europe and worldwide.
Currently, synthetic prostheses used in bypass vascular surgery are produced from polyethylene terephthalate [PET] and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene [ePTFE].
Those materials show less than optimal, insufficient biocompatibility and durability properties, especially if used for SMALL DIAMETER BLOOD VESSELS.
Within the frame of ERC Advanced Grant “BIOSILICA” (From gene to biomineral:
