Where kidney disease is concerned, the vessels could replace synthetic grafts used to link an artery to a vein for the process of hemodialysis. Such synthetics are accompanied by serious risks, including clotting and infection.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Read it.
