Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and standardize a method for endothelial cell seeding in tubular vascular grafts.
  • To present a novel rotational cell seeding device for vascular prostheses.
  • To investigate parameters affecting endothelial cell adhesion kinetics.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a rotational cell seeding device for tubular prostheses.
  • Systematic investigation of parameters: rotation speed, graft diameter, cell suspension volume, and cell number.
