Surgical management of an infected external iliac artery interposition graft with a bioengineered human acellular vessel
ABSTRACT Infection of prosthetic vascular grafts can manifest as pain, pseudoaneurysms, or arterial insufficiency in the leg. We present the case of a female patient with a medical history of a right external iliac artery endofibrosis, with a persistently infected synthetic iliofemoral bypass graft, which we replaced with a bioengineered human acellular vessel. At the 12-month follow-up visit, ...

Clinical implementation of the Humacyte human acellular vessel: Implications for military and civilian trauma care
ABSTRACT: The incidence of wartime vascular injury has increased and is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity. While ligation remains an option, current resuscitation and damage control techniques have resulted in vascular repair being pursued in more than half of wartime injuries. Options for vascular reconstruction are currently limited to autologous vein or synthetic conduits, choices ...

Arterial reconstruction with human bioengineered acellular blood vessels in patients with peripheral arterial disease
Abstract Objective: Vascular conduit is essential for arterial reconstruction for a number of conditions, including trauma and atherosclerotic occlusive disease. We have developed a tissue-engineered human acellular vessel (HAV) that can be manufactured, stored on site at hospitals, and be immediately available for arterial vascular reconstruction. Although the HAV is acellular when implanted, ...

The Evolving Role of Percutaneous Deep Venous Arterialization
The increasing incidence of peripheral artery disease (PAD) is occurring globally as populations age and rates of diabetes, obesity, and renal disease increase.1-3 Although most of these patients have no symptoms, when the disease progresses to its most advanced form, chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), there is a significant risk for limb loss. Despite the fact that our revascularization ...
