Research Abstract |
The small diameter(3mm) conduit consisted with PVA hydrogel was transplanted to rat abdominal artery. Immediately after the transplantation, beating was observed, however, all conduits were occulted in a few days. Next, endothelial cells were co-cultured with PVA sheet. No endothelial cells were adhered to PVA sheet. The collagen fragment was embedded into PVA hydrogel and endothelial cells were co-cultured with rotation. These cells were, then, adhered and migrated. In addition, smooth muscle cells were co-cultures, and these cells also adhered to the collagen-PVA sheet.
