- Abstract: Artificial blood vessels, serving as crucial vascular substitutes, have been widely utilized in vascular interventional therapies and revascularization surgeries. Small-diameter artificial blood vessels (diameter < 6 mm) pose challenges for long-term implantation due to their small diameter, slow flow velocity, low blood pressure, and complex blood flow environment. Bacterial nanocellulose (BNC), a natural polymer material, enhances the regenerative and repair effects of small-diameter artificial blood vessels through composite modification and surface modification. This article reviewed the research progress in the preparation of small-diameter artificial blood vessels using BNC and discussed the advantages and potential application prospects of BNC artificial blood vessels.
