Compliance mismatch between native arteries and prosthetic grafts contribute to complications such as neointimal hyperplasia and pseudoaneurysms, leading to reduced graft patency. Three-dimensional (3D) printing offers a promising solution by flexibly customizing mechanical properties using elastic...
