Implication

Animal model testing shows improved performance of electrospun vascular grafts with enoxaparin, indicating design and drug support influence outcomes.

Key Points

This research aims to evaluate the long-term performance of electrospun vascular grafts in a large animal model.
Developed bilayer vascular grafts using electrospinning technique with PCL and PLA compositions.
Implanted grafts in a porcine carotid artery model for biological and mechanical assessment.
Evaluated grafts for mechanical performance metrics such as tensile strength and compliance.
PCL-based grafts showed longer patency, particularly with enoxaparin treatment.
Mechanical tests indicated adequate performance in tensile strength and burst pressure compared to native arteries.
Graft failure in some samples was linked to inflammatory response and interface delamination.
