Abstract
The attachment and growth of endothelial cells on the luminal surface of a vascular prosthesis are enhanced by coating the luminal surface of the vascular prosthesis with peptide derived from elastin. The resultant vascular prosthesis, which may be seeded with endothelial cells just prior to implantation has an enhanced anti-thrombogenic luminal surface.
