Anti-thrombogenic grafts
View Patent ↗The present invention provides anti-thrombogenic compositions, including anti-thrombogenic vascular grafts. In certain embodiments, the compositions comprise decellularized tissue coated with an anti-thrombogenic coating. The present invention also provides methods of preparing anti-thrombogenic compositions and methods of treatment comprising implanting the anti-thrombogenic compositions into a subject in need thereof.
1. A composition comprising a substrate having at least one surface coated with an anti-thrombogenic coating, wherein the anti-thrombogenic coating comprises a first layer comprising a hydrogel and a second layer comprising an anti-coagulant, wherein the first layer contacts the substrate, and wherein the substrate is decellularized tissue.
2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the first layer comprises hyaluronic acid.
3. The composition of claim 2 , wherein the hyaluronic acid is thiol-modified hyaluronic acid.
4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the first layer is crosslinked to the at least one surface of the substrate.
5. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the second layer is crosslinked to the first layer.
6. The composition of claim 5 , wherein the second layer comprises heparin.
7. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the decellularized tissue is a decellularized blood vessel having a luminal surface, and wherein the anti-thrombogenic coating is coated on the luminal surface of the decellularized blood vessel.
