| Pig | BM-MNCs were induced into ECs and SMCs in vitro, seeded onto porcine decellularized aorta, and implanted. | Abdominal aorta | 2009 | [58] |
| Rat | TEVs constructed with PEUU scaffolds seeded with MD-SCs and implanted. | Abdominal aorta | 2010 | [59] |
| Sheep | Fibrin-polylactide-based TEVs seeded with explanted Ecs and SMCs from carotid artery and implanted. | Carotid artery | 2010 | [33] |
| Sheep | Autologous bone marrow cells seeded on decellularized arterial scaffold and implanted in an ovine model. | Carotid artery | 2010 | [60] |

| Dog | Heparinized decellularized dog artery seeded with donor EPCs and implanted. | Carotid artery | 2012 | [41] |
| Sheep | Decellularized arterial scaffolds seeded with autologous EPC. Assessed for needle puncture and venous outflow. | Carotid/Jugular shunt | 2012 | [34] |
