Tissue-engineered arteries based on entrapment of human dermal fibroblasts in fibrin gel yield completely biological vascular grafts that possess circumferential alignment characteristic of native arteries and essential to their mechanical properties A bioreactor was developed to condition six grafts in the same culture medium while being subjected to similar cyclic distension and transmural flow resulting from pulsed flow distributed among the graft lumens via a manifold The lumenal pressure and circumferential stretch were noninvasively monitored and used to calculate stiffness in the range of 80-120 mmHg and then to successfully predict graft burst strength The length of the graft was Incrementally shortened during bioreactor culture to maintain circumferential alignment and achieve mechanical anisotropy comparable to native arteries After 7-9 weeks of bioreactor culture the fibrin-based grafts were extensively remodeled by the fibroblasts Into circumferentially-aligned tubes of collagen and other extracellular matrix with burst pressures in the range of 1400-1600 mmHg and compliance comparable to native arteries The tissue suture retention force was also suitable for implantation in the rat model and with poly(lactic acid) sewing rings entrapped at both ends of the graft also in the ovine model The strength achieved with a biological scaffold in such a short duration is unprecedented for an engineered artery (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd All rights reserved
