Histological assessment demonstrated active vessel remodeling and neo-vessel formation at 12 months after Implantation.

Abstract

<p>Histologic analysis of TEVG was performed by Hematoxylin and Eosin staining at 5x (top) and 20x (bottom). At 4 months, there is a thin endothelium and some cellular infiltration at the periphery of the TEVG. By 8 months, tissue ingrowth at the periphery has increased. By 12 months, tissue ingrowth has increased at the luminal and peripheral surfaces, with increasing cellularity within the graft. (n = 5 in each group.)</p
