About this bookThis book is about the perfect vascular graft: A hypothetical discussion of what it is and how one may go about producing it.. By exploring some basic biological areas and introducing the background of clinical and pathological failures and demands, this book shall serve as a comprehensive guide, furthering the research initiatives of academic vascular surgeons, scientists and industry researchers. |
