Figure 7: In vivo implantation of silk scaffolds and graft patency.

Figure 7:

(A) A representative image of silk graft after aortic interposition implantation in a rat. (B) Representative images showing the explanted silk grafts after 8 weeks. (C) Representative images showing gross morphology of silk explants’ cross-section post 1 week and 8 week time points. Black arrows are showing the presence of neo-tissue in the lumen of silk explants. (D) Quantitative data representing in vivo graft performance. (E) Representative images of recorded angiograms showing graft patency after 8 weeks. White arrows represent the location of graft (infra-renal and above iliac bifurcation).
