Summary

The endothelial loss caused by the methods of vascular cryopreservation used in most human vessel banks is one of the main factors leading to the failure of grafting procedures performed using cryopreserved vessel substitutes. This study evaluated the effects of the storage temperature and thawing protocol on the endothelial cell loss suffered by cryopreserved vessels, and optimized the thawing temperature and protocol for cryopreserving arterial grafts in terms of that producing the least endothelial loss.
