Abstract
This study describes the selective removal of cell and cell residues from small and large diameter blood vessels for the preparation of tubular collagen:elastin matrices intended for small diameter vascular prosthesis. The results showed that total or partially devitalized collagen:elastin matrices may be conveniently prepared without denaturation of the collagen:elastin matrix with a high degree of preservation of the proteins. The efficiency of cell removal and the extent collagen and elastic fiber preservation were dependent on the segment and the type of blood vessel under study, with arteries characterized by a higher susceptibility of cell removal and better preservation of the collagen-elastin matrix.
