Genetic Engineering of Vein Bypass Grafts in Vascular and Cardiovascular Surgery
Description: PROJECT NARRATIVE Injury to the grafts during surgery is a major cause for failure of heart bypass grafts and bypass grafts for peripheral vascular disease. The investigators propose to prevent this failure by genetically engineering the vein graft to reduce harmful and increase protective genes, using state-of-the art techniques that can be applied in the operating room.
