  • Publication number: 20090123993
    Abstract: The present invention provides a blood vessel bioreactor and accessory system to harvest, maintain, transport, and/or develop a native blood vessel or a tissue-engineered biosynthetic blood vessel construct in which regulated nutritive fluid flow as well as a pressure and shear stress regimen is supplied which nutritionally and mechanically conditions the native or tissue-engineered blood vessel construct to withstand an in vitro or in vivo environment. The present invention includes a blood vessel harvest and carriage cassette (10) which allows for the isolation of a blood vessel segment in situ, engagement of a defined length and bore size of the blood vessel segment with a blood vessel attachment/engagement cuff (20), severing of the blood vessel segment, attachment of the severed ends of the blood vessel segment with various types of blood vessel inlet/outlet cuff connectors that connect to a nutritive fluid flow system, and a cassette-type bioreactor cartridge.
