Artificial vein to replace the damaged vessels

A new model of peripheral circulatory system will help millions of patients with vascular disease. Scientists develop artificial vein for patients with circulatory problems. The device in the form of spiral vessels showed high efficacy in various clinical studies. The developers hope that their discovery will help surgeons to perform bypass surgery without the use of vessels of the patient. It was expected that the development of artificial vessels will help millions of people suffering from diseases of the peripheral arteries.

The disease begins when zhiropodobnoe material narrows the vessel lumen and impedes the flow of blood in the limbs. This can cause very serious problems with the limbs and in the most difficult case - her amputation. Artificial blood vessels, developed prior to this also suffered from sediments aterogennyh substances, so many surgeons prefer to use their own vessels Rights.

The researcher and the creator of a new type of vessels, Dr. Peter Stonebridge, found that the blood moves through the vessels is not direct, and vorticity, which helped him create a new model of artificial vessel - spiral. It is a new structure will help to avoid blocking the vessel, and thrombosis therein.
