Characterization of Carbon Monoxide Releasing Poly(diol-citrate) Polymer for Vascular Applications

摘要

We have prepared a novel elastomeric CO-releasing polymer. Fully crosslinked POCNAACORM2 samples are shown to release carbon monoxide for at least 20 hours before myoglobin degradation is observed. Methodologies to detect CO release from coated vascular grafts and longer periods of release time are currently being explored.
