Fig 2 Macroscopic observation of the tissue-engineered patches 1 and 6 months after implantation. There were no sign of thrombus or aneurysmal formation in any animals at (A) 1 month or (B) 6 months. (C) Macroscopic findings of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene patches at 6 months showed that endothelial defects were always detected. (D) Scanning electron microscopy image (×1000) shows luminal surface of the tissue-engineered patch 1 month after implantation.

Fig 3 The upper side of the photomicrograph shows the luminal surface. Double staining with hematoxylin-eosin and Victoria blue of the tissue-engineered patches showed the presence of elastic fibers at (A) 1, (B) 2, and (C) 6 months after implantation (asterisks). Double staining with von Willebrand factor and α-smooth muscle actin showed the surface of the tissue-engineered patches were completely covered with monolayer of endothelial cells at (E) 1, (F) 2 and (G) 6 months (arrows), and α-smooth muscle actin was distributed throughout the regenerative tissue (asterisks). (D, H) In contrast, the surface of the expanded polytetrafluoroethylene patches was covered with thin layer that was not stained. The scale bar represents 300 μm.

Fig 4 (A) Scanning electron micrographs of luminal surfaces of tissue-engineered patches 3 hours after implantation showed cell adhesion and complete coverage on the scaffold surfaces. (B) Images at 3 hours after implantation showed that fibrils were directly exposed to the lumen of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene without any endothelial coverage. The scale bar represents 50 μm.
