An Artificial Blood Vessel That can Help Test Medical Devices Used for Clot Removal
This in-vitro platform permitted quantification and characterization of the pattern and timing of endothelial cell injury with various thrombectomy devices.

“By selecting very specific molecular building blocks we have succeeded in synthesizing a polymer with the desired properties,” said Robert Liska from Vienna University of Technology’s synthetic chemistry institute.
The blood vessel created by the scientists is slightly porous and initially allows a small amount of blood to steep through, encouraging nearby tissues to thrive. Over time natural endogenous cells replace the artificial blood vessel.
