Off-the-Shelf-Blood-Vessels: Creating a New Tool for Heart Bypass Grafts

banner-heart

Coronary artery diseases result in more than 500,000 heart bypass grafts each year in the United States, but more than one-fifth of these patients are not candidates for the procedure due to changes in their vascular system or previous use of veins for other procedures. We aim to provide a solution for patients in this critical—and life-threatening—situation.
