Abstract
To address the growing demand of small-diameter vascular grafts for cardiovascular disease, it is necessary to develop substitutes with bio-functionalities, such as anticoagulation, rapid endothelialization, and smooth muscle regeneration. In this study, the small-diameter tubular grafts (2.2 mm) were fabricated by electrospinning of biodegradable polymer polycaprolactone (PCL) followed by functional surface coating with an...
