Study shows ability available to 'grow' new veins

"There are many times when "new" veins are needed for grafting. Veins are taken from the legs to use in coronary artery bypass surgery routinely. Artificial grafts are sometimes used to create arteriovenous fistulas or shunts in renal patients for use in dialysis. Now there is a way to create a small diameter vascular grafts using the patient's own skin cells. The technique is one developed at Cytograft who funded the study published in the April 25 issue of The Lancet." - EmaxHealth
