A Study to Evaluate Adipose Tissue for Regenerative Medicine Research in Cardiovascular Disease

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to obtain adipose tissue from patients undergoing vascular surgery where EVs can be isolated from the fat and used for research purposes to examine their effect on inflammation and remodeling in culture and in animal models. The samples will immediately be processed to obtain EVs for research purposes - this is not a biorepository.
