Abstract: Abstract Tubular scaffolds have been commonly used for vascular stents, grafts, and replacement of the trachea. Common scaffolds are built from non-biodegradable synthetic polymers that have superior mechanical properties; these polymers include expanded poly(tetrafluoroethylene), poly(ethylene… read more here.
