The Effect of Different Thawing Rates on Cryopreserved Human Iliac Arteries Allograft’s Structural Damage and Mechanical Properties

<div>Thawing protocol 1 (thawing at water bath at 37°C)—cryopreserved human iliac artery allograft (CHIAA) (magnification: 500x). CHIAA: complete loss of endothelium, dispersion of defects or fractures in subendotlium (arrow), and very gentle longitudinal corrugations parallel to the direction of blood flow.</div>
