Abstract

Cardiovascular disease (CVD), primarily caused by atherosclerotic narrowing of blood vessels, is the main cause of death in the world. Although autologous grafts are considered the gold standard for vascular reconstruction, their limited availability and donor-site morbidity necessitate the development of reliable small-diameter vascular grafts (SDVGs,
