Artificial blood vessels become resistant to thrombosis
Scientists from ITMO University developed artificial blood vessels that are not susceptible to blood clot formation. The achievement was made possible by a new generation of drug-containing coating applied to the inner surface of the vessel.
This is an artist's representation of the improved vascular graft. The enlarged section shows the drug-entrapping coating attached to the inner surface of the graft.
