Nano-structured shunt design and characterization. (A) Design of PS. Inner lumen size is dictated by the diameter of the template wire. (B) Exterior of PS composed of nanofibers and revealing minimal porosity. (C) Cross-section of closed-lumen PS with 50 µm diameter template wire and (D) cross-section without template wire. (E) Cross-section of open-lumen PS following one week of continuous fluid flow demonstrating no signs of degradation or change in diameter. (F) Design of PCS. (G) Cross-section of PCS with 75 µm diameter template wire and (H) cross-section without template wire. (I) Cross-section of PCS after 14 days and (J) 28 days of in vitro fluid flow.
