Resumen:
Electrospun nanofibrous tubular structures appealing for small diameter bioresorbable vascular grafts applications, were obtained. Their mechanical behavior was tested in vitro and a mean elastic modulus in the order of natural-arterial-biologic-tissues modulus was measured. These preliminary results are promising and a good starting point to make processing and composition modifications, which will lead to more biomimetic grafts.
