ABSTRACT:
This invention provides a more functionalized artificial blood vessel which can be organized by independently designing its inner and outer surfaces and endowing them with respectively different biocompatibilities, as well as a process for producing the same.
The artificial blood vessel comprises a tubular support having a layer of photogelled cinnamic acid-bound chondroitin sulfate coated on the inner surface thereof and a layer of photogelled coumarin-bound gelatin coated on the outer surface thereof. The process for producing the above artificial blood vessel comprises coating a layer of coumarin-bound gelatin on the outer surface of a tubular support and a layer of cinnamic acid-bound chondroitin sulfate on the inner surface of the support and irradiating each of the layers with light.
