摘要：
A tubular tissue graft device is provided comprising a tubular tissue and a restrictivefiber matrix of a bioerodible polymer about a circumference of the tubular tissue.The matrix may be electrospun onto the tubular tissue. In one embodiment, thetubular tissue is from a vein, such as a saphenous vein, useful as an arterial graft,for example and without limitation, in a coronary artery bypass procedure. Alsoprovided is method of preparing a tubular graft comprising depositing a fibermatrix of a bioerodible polymer about a perimeter of a tubular tissue to producea tubular tissue graft device. A cardiac bypass method comprising bypassinga coronary artery with a tubular tissue graft device comprising a vein and a restrictivefiber matrix of a bioerodible polymer about a circumference of the vein also isprovided.
