| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have developed autologous small-caliber vascular grafts, named "biotubes", by simple, safe and economical "in-body tissue architecture technology". In this study, we evaluated the long-term results of small-caliber biotubes.
Silicone rod molds were placed into subcutaneous pouches of rats, and after 1 month the implants were removed. Biotubes were obtained as tubular connective tissues. They were auto-implanted to the abdominal aorta. At over 1 year, graft status was evaluated by ultrasound echocardiography (UCG), magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and histology. High patency rate of 89% (8/9) was obtained. UCG and MRA showed little stenosis, no aneurismal dilation. Histological evaluation revealed hierarchical vessel wall reconstruction including complete endothelialization, circumferentially oriented smooth muscle cells，elastin fibers mimicking native arteries.
The biotubes performed as excellent vascular grafts with high patency and regeneration activity.
