MeSH headings : Animals; Arteries / metabolism; Blood Vessel Prosthesis; Fixatives; Formaldehyde; Humans; Microscopy, Electron, Scanning; Pancreatin / pharmacology; Polyethylene Terephthalates / analysis; Sodium Hydroxide; Solvents; Surface Properties; Tensile Strength; Time Factors
topics (OpenAlex): Electrospun Nanofibers in Biomedical Applications; Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine; Reconstructive Surgery and Microvascular Techniques
TL;DR:
A method is presented that can be utilized for the removal of formalin-fixed tissues from arterial grafts without affecting fiber material properties that could prove highly useful for studying the changes in the structure and properties of graft fiber as functions of important clinical variables.
