NanoGraft has good biocompatibility in porcine carotid artery transplantation. (A) Schematic diagram of NanoGraft preparation (inset shows SEM micrograph). (B) Pre-coagulated nanografts show similar physical properties to ePTFE. (C) Direct representation of ePTFE graft suture exudation and nanografts without exudation. Insets are OCT images of patent grafts. (D) Ultrasound images 4 weeks after implantation of ePTFE and NanoGraft in the porcine carotid artery. (E) 2 weeks after implantation (a) thrombosis, (b) luminal surface and (c) inflammatory response of abluminal surface of ePTFE and NanoGraft. Reproduced under terms of the CC-BY license [178].
