Figure 9From: The feasibility of ureteral tissue engineering using autologous veins: an orthotopic animal model with long term results Havest of a jugular vein and using it for reconstruction of the ureter. (a) Harvest of a jugular vein from the minipig’s neck. (b) Free jugular vein opened longitudinally with endothelial side up. (c) Ureteral reconstruction and measuring the length of the tissue engineered venous scaffold.Back to article page
