The researchers implanted a synthetic rabbit carotid artery with and without fucoidan modification in a rabbit model to assess the molecule’s impact on vascular cell growth around the surface of the ...

These larger diameter (>5mm) grafts work satisfactorily for replacing or repairing large blood vessels. However, there are many needs where small diameter vascular grafts (SDVG) would be beneficial.

Currently, the only clinically approved option for small diameter vascular bypass graft involves taking a blood vessel from another part of the patient’s body.
