Vascular access animal models used in research.

CONCLUSIONS: Large animal models are best for haemodynamic shear stress studies and in vivo evaluation of new synthetic vascular grafts. Small animal models, especially the genetically manipulated ones, are ideal for analysis of molecular and cellular pathomechanisms. The selection of animal species to be used depends on the addressed research question.
