Fig. 3: Graft diameters and function in the animals at 6 months just prior to explantation.

From: Evaluation of an engineered vascular graft exhibiting somatic growth in lambs to model repair of absent pulmonary artery branch

Fig. 3

a Averaged Diameter (from CT-angiography) (b) Graft Peak Pressure Drop (proximal to distal ends of graft from pressure probe), c LPA/RPA Flow Ratio (from epicardial echo), d Graft Cross-Sectional Compliance (from pressure probe/angiography). Error bars indicate standard deviations (n = 3 all graft groups, n = 6 for RPA diameter of all grafted animals, n = 3 for RPA compliance of TEVG animals as explained in the text). Paired symbols indicate statistical difference at P < 0.05; a *=0.004, ^=0.00008, b *=0.025, c *=0.0006, d *=0.033, ^=0.038.
