  • smooth muscle since smooth muscle is a muscle, it also has a more active mechanical function, resisting arterial blood pressure, while on the other hand delivering high pulsatile arterial blood pressure to the periphery without attenuation.

  • the venous wall changes like a normal artery, it is arterialization (remodeling into an artery) and not into a buffer system vessel.

  • the vascular cover 10 preferably has at least one of a knitted fabric, a woven fabric, and a nonwoven fabric as a component that partially configures it or as a component that configures the whole. With these materials, it is easy to form the elastically deformable blood vessel cover 10 .
  • the type of knitted fabric is not particularly limited, and may be warp knitted or weft knitted. Knitting structures of warp knitting include half knitting, back half knitting, queens coat knitting, and satin knitting. Weft knitting includes circular knitting and flat knitting, and knitting structures of weft knitting include plain knitting, rubber knitting, double-sided knitting, milanese rib knitting, and jacquard knitting.
  • the knitted fabric is preferably composed of weft knitting from the viewpoint of excellent stretchability.
  • the type of woven fabric is not particularly limited, and may be plain weave, twill weave, satin weave, or the like.
  • the blood vessel cover 10 may be composed of a nonwoven fabric produced by any method such as meltblowing, needle punching, spunlacing, electrospinning, or the like.
  • the blood vessel cover 10 may be composed of a combination of two or more different materials, for example, one part is composed of a knitted fabric and the other part is composed of another material such as a non-woven fabric.
  • yarns forming knitted fabrics, woven fabrics, and non-woven fabrics are also made of resin materials with superior plastic deformation, such as polyolefin resins such as polyethylene and polypropylene; polyamide resins such as nylon; polyethylene terephthalate. polyimide resins; fluorine resins such as PTFE, PFA and ETFE; synthetic resins such as polyvinyl chloride resins.
  • resin materials with superior plastic deformation such as polyolefin resins such as polyethylene and polypropylene; polyamide resins such as nylon; polyethylene terephthalate.
  • polyimide resins fluorine resins such as PTFE, PFA and ETFE
  • synthetic resins such as polyvinyl chloride resins.
  • the yarn forming the knitted fabric or woven fabric can also be made of a resin material (e.g., polyester, PTFE) used for artificial blood vessels, and specifically, ePTFE obtained by stretching PTFE and polyester fiber from DuPont. Dacron (registered trademark) and the like can be mentioned.
  • the vessel cover 10 may be made of a biodegradable material such as aliphatic polyester such as polylactic acid, polyglycolic acid, and polyhydroxyalkanoic acid; aliphatic polyether.
  • the yarn forming the knitted or woven fabric may be composed of natural fibers such as silk or cotton, or may be composed of a combination of resin materials, biodegradable materials, and natural fibers.
  • the blood vessel cover 10 has a bellows structure in which peaks and troughs are periodically repeated in the axial direction x.
  • the portion is the one end portion 110
  • the evaluation of whether or not the vein 4 is remodeled into the low-pressure buffer system blood vessel needs to be confirmed by both the morphological confirmation method described below and the confirmation method by measuring the buffering action.
  • a morphological method it is confirmed whether a two-layer structure consisting of a smooth muscle layer containing morphological elastic fibers and elastic fibers containing collagen fibers thicker than the smooth muscle layer is formed. It can be carried out. Specifically, the vein 4 of the shunt-forming portion 1 is cut out, subjected to special staining such as hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and elastica-fungieson (EvG) staining, and the cross section of the vein wall is observed with a microscope.
  • HE hematoxylin-eosin
  • EvG elastica-fungieson
  • smooth muscle is stained turbid yellow, elastic fibers are dark purple, and collagen fibers are stained dark red, so the smooth muscle layer containing elastic fibers and the elastic fiber layer containing collagen fibers are observed, This can be done by confirming "thickness of smooth muscle layer containing elastic fibers ⁇ thickness of elastic fiber layer containing collagen fibers".
