Representative AEs constructed by decellularized arterial tissue
(A) Decellularized HUA were tested in a sheep carotid artery bypass model, demonstrating initial compatibility with arterial pressures but ultimately occluding on the seventh day (scale bar i, iii: 500 μm, ii, iv: 100 μm, v: 1 mm). Copyright 2020, Elsevier, Reproduced with permission.143

(C) A tissue-engineered vascular graft with a robust ECM was obtained by culturing aortic SMCs on a biodegradable PGA mesh scaffold, followed by decellularization, which was evaluated in a porcine model (scale bar i-iii: 100 μm, iv: 500 μm).
