Porous Bilayer Vascular Grafts Fabricated from Electrospinning of the Recombinant Human Collagen (RHC) Peptide-Based Blend.

ABSTRACT: Cardiovascular diseases, including coronary artery and peripheral vascular pathologies, are leading causes of mortality. As an alternative to autografts, prosthetic grafts have been developed to reduce the death rate. This study presents the development and characterization of bilayer vascular grafts with appropriate structural and biocompatibility properties. A polymer blend of recombinant human collagen (RHC) peptides and polycaprolactone (PCL) was used to build the inner layer of the graft by electrospinning and co-electrospinning the water-soluble polyethylene oxide (PEO) as sacrificial material together with PCL to generate the porous outer layer. The mechanical test demonstrated the bilayer scaffold's appropriate mechanical properties as compared with the native vascular structure. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) showed enhanced adhesion to the lumen after seeding on nanoscale fibers. Meanwhile, by enhancing the porosity of the microfibrous outer layer through the removal of PEO fibers, rat smooth muscle cells (A7r5) could proliferate and infiltrate the porous layer easily.

Project description:BackgroundThe objective of the present study was to evaluate the bioresorption rate of collagen coating (CC) sealed on textile vascular grafts (VGs) and their healing in humans using histologic analysis of explanted VGs.MethodsA total of 27 polyester textile VGs had been removed during surgery from 2012 to 2020. The segments underwent histologic assessment. The CC bioresorption rate was assessed using morphometric analysis to determine the internal and external capsule thickness, inflammatory reaction degree, presence of neovessels, and endothelial cell layer.ResultsA total of 27 VGs were explanted from 25 patients because of infection (n = 5; 18.5%), thrombosis (n = 7; 25.9%), stenosis (n = 2; 7.4%), rupture (n = 4; 14.8%), aneurysmal degeneration (n = 3; 11.1%), revascularization (n = 4; 14.8%), or another cause (n = 2; 7.4%), with a median implantation duration of 291 days (interquartile range [IQR], 48-911 days). VGs with remaining CC (n = 7; 26%) had been explanted earlier than had those without (n = 20; 74%; 1 day [IQR, 1-45 days] vs 516 days [IQR, 79-2018 days]; P = .001). After 1 year, no remaining CC was detected on the analyzed VG sections. VGs implanted for <90 days had had a greater CC maximal thickness (63.90 μm [IQR, 0-83.25 μm] vs 0 μm [IQR, 0-0 μm]; P = .006) and a greater CC surface coverage (180° [IQR, 0°-360°] vs 0° [IQR, 0°-0°]; P = .002) than those implanted for >90 days. VGs implanted for >90 days had a greater external capsule thickness (889.2 μm [IQR, 39.6-1317 μm] vs 0 μm [IQR, 0-0 μm]; P = .002), a higher number of inflammatory mononuclear cells and giant cells (168 cells [IQR, 110-310 cells] vs 0 cells [IQR, 0-94 cells]; P < .0001) and a higher number of neovessels (4 [IQR, 0-5] vs 0 [IQR, 0-0]; P = .001) than those implanted for <90 days.ConclusionsCC had a slow bioresorption rate in humans. Complete healing was never achieved, with no endothelial coverage observed. This finding implies that CC might not help graft healing.
