Artificial blood vessels mimic human veins, offer breakthrough in heart surgery
Researchers have successfully created 3D-printed blood vessels that mimic human veins, promising to transform bypass surgery outcomes.
These innovative gel-like tubes closely resemble human veins and hold the potential to revolutionize heart bypass surgery, improving outcomes for countless patients worldwide. Dr. Norbert Radacsi, the principal investigator of the study, stated that the results of their research addressed a long-standing challenge in the field of vascular tissue engineering, which was to produce a conduit with biomechanical properties similar to human veins. “Our hybrid technique opens up new and exciting possibilities for the fabrication of tubular constructs in tissue engineering,” expressed Dr Faraz Fazal, lead author of the study.
