The Current Status of Tissue-Engineered Vascular Grafts

Tissue-engineered vascular grafts (TEVGs) are currently being developed to overcome the limitations and complications associated with traditional synthetic grafts. This article aims to review the current status of research into the production and use of tissue-engineered grafts. TEVGs have a number of theoretical advantages over synthetic grafts. The results of animal and human studies have been promising, but more work must be done before TEVGs can replace traditional grafts.
