TL;DR: In this paper, it has been discovered that improved yields of engineered tissue following implantation, and engineered tissue having enhanced mechanical strength and flexibility or pliability, can be obtained by implanting, preferably subcutaneously, of a fibrous polymeric matrix for a period of time sufficient to obtain ingrowth of fibrous tissue and/or blood vessels, which is the removed for subsequent implantation at the site where the implant is desired.

Abstract: It has been discovered that improved yields of engineered tissue following implantation, and engineered tissue having enhanced mechanical strength and flexibility or pliability, can be obtained by implantation, preferably subcutaneously, of a fibrous polymeric matrix for a period of time sufficient to obtain ingrowth of fibrous tissue and/or blood vessels, which is the removed for subsequent implantation at the site where the implant is desired. The matrix is optionally seeded prior to the first implantation, after ingrowth of the fibrous tissue, or at the time of reimplantation. The time required for fibrous ingrowth typically ranges from days to weeks. The method is particularly useful in making valves and tubular structures, especially heart valves and blood vessels.

Autotransplantation of Pancreatic Fragments to the Portal Vein and Spleen of Totally Pancreatectomized Dogs: A Comparative Evaluation
TL;DR: It is concluded that in dogs direct implantation of pancreatic tissue into thesplenic pulp is superior to embolization into the portal vein or splenic artery because the splenic circulation is not compromized, portal hypertension is obviated, and glucose metabolism is best controlled as judged by glucose tolerance test K values.

Body absorbable sponge and method of making
Donald James Casey
- 25 Mar 1974
TL;DR: A conformable tissue absorbable surgical sponge is formed by dissolving a tissue absorbability polymer in hexafluoroisopropyl alcohol orhexafluoroacetone sesquihydrate, filtering, freezing and subliming off the solvent to give a tissue conformable flexible sponge which rapidly absorbs blood and other body fluids as mentioned in this paper.
