The in vivo characterization of electrospun heparin-bonded polycaprolactone in small-diameter vascular reconstruction.

CONCLUSION: This preliminary study demonstrates that heparin-bonded polycaprolactone is a suitable graft for small artery reconstruction. However, heparin-bonded polycaprolactone degrades more rapidly than polycaprolactone in vivo.
