One issue with this procedure is that if blood vessels from other parts of the body are not suitable for the coronary artery bypass, then a replacement blood vessel must be used. My goal is to make a blood vessel replacement that is durable, strong, flexible, comfortable, interacts well with surrounding cells and tissues, all while being as inexpensive as possible. I believe the best way to achieve this goal is to create my own novel design. I can study existing technologies to see where prior technologies failed or suffered and use my ideas to fix the blood vessel replacement. In tissue engineering,
