[0021] Glossary Small-caliber artificial blood vessels, in this case, refer to artificial blood vessels with a diameter of less than 6 mm.

[0023] The degradable coated artificial blood vessel provided by the embodiment of the present invention has selective permeability, and the inner layer is prepared by PHA. As a degradable material, PHA has good biocompatibility, has the characteristics of layer-by-layer degradation over time, and no collapse, and the degradation product 3HB can be converted into acetyl coenzyme A through the "ketolysis" path, enters the tricarboxylic acid cycle to produce ATP, and promotes cell and blood vessel repair. The dense middle layer is woven with polyester, which has anti-bleeding and antibacterial capabilities to prevent infection. The outermost layer is spun from polyurethane, has good physical and mechanical properties, can adapt to the blood pressure environment in the body, and maintain the normal morphology of blood vessels.

[0024] At the same time, this scheme also uses heparin to cross-link the inner and outer layers of blood vessels to improve vascular hydrophilicity and cell adhesion, and also has anti-coagulation and anti-platelet aggregation functions. At the same time, PHA can slowly release cross-linked heparin, prolong its release cycle in the body, and increase its effect of promoting endothelial cell adhesion.
