FIG. 5.
The mechanical properties of reported TEVGs compared with the human internal thoracic artery (ITA) and SV. The results are arranged by manufacturing method and represent grafts before any implantation. For reference, values for burst pressure, suture retention strength, and compliance are 3073 mmHg, 1.72 N, and 11.5%/100 mmHg for the ITA and 2134 mmHg, 1.92 N, and 25.6%/100 mmHg for the SV, respectively.61–65,210 Color images available online at www.liebertpub.com/teb
