Patent abstract
Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) adhere to and orient along micropatterned grooves having a depth of 1 to 10 μm and a width of 1 to 20 μm that are imposed on the surface of a vascular implant device. The VSMCs maintain an elongated morphology and reduced proliferation resulting in a decrease in occurrence of intimal hyperplasia upon device implantation.
