Figure 6. Physiologic Compliance of Arteries and Engineered Arterial Constructs.

Figure 6

The compliance of porcine carotid arteries (gray, n = 4) and PGS constructs (black, n = 4) was remarkably similar at the pressures tested. There was no statistical difference between the two groups. PGS scaffolds hold no pressure due to their high porosity. #The tunica adventitia of porcine carotid arteries was removed prior to testing.
