Abstract:

Objective To explore the feasibility of vascular cast for revascularization of tissue engineered organ. Method Tissue engineered scaffolds DegraPol were implanted in rat omental 1 weeks. The anatomic technology of vascular cast was used to observe revascularization of DegraPol scaffold. Results  Vascular cast showed more blue vessels around the DegraPol scaffold in omental implants. Micro-vessels were found grew into the porous scaffold. Conclusions Vascular cast technique is suitable for detecing the microvascular, and could be used as a new method to observe revascularization of tissue engineered organ.
