    Drainage stabilized microvessels locally. (A) Addition of a T-junction gel compartment in the middle of the scaffold. The drainage channel was connected to a media reservoir at the end of this compartment, which was held at 0 cm H2O (see Fig. 1C and D). The distance from the axis of the microvessel to the drainage channel is indicated by δ. The length of microvessels was 8.2 ± 0.3 mm, and the fibrin scaffold was 1.1 mm thick. (B) Phase-contrast image of the T-junction in a 30 mg/mL scaffold. (C) Delamination frequency maps of microvessels in 30 mg/mL scaffolds with different δ values, and 20 mg/mL scaffold with δ = 0.5 mm (0.52 ± 0.08 mm, 2n = 26). Conditions for 30 mg/mL scaffold are δ = 0.5 mm (0.47 ± 0.09 mm, 2n = 22), δ = 1 mm (1.02 ± 0.06 mm, 2n = 24), δ = 1.5 mm (1.48 ± 0.10 mm, 2n = 22), δ = 2.5 mm (2.45 ± 0.17 mm, 2n = 20), and δ ~ 6.5 mm (without drainage channel, 2n = 18).

(D) Plot of the continuous stable lengths in the middle of vessels.

    Techniques Used:

    Perfusion and drainage of the centimeter-scale fibrin scaffolds (i.e., fibrin patches). (A) Dimensions of the fibrin patch. The average length of microvessels was 8.7 ± 0.2 mm, and the fibrin patch was 1.6 mm thick. (B) Numerical prediction of pressure profiles and vascular stability in the presence and absence of drainage microchannels, using a vessel LP of 3.2 × 10−10 cm3/dyn·s and a corresponding threshold transmural pressure of 1.14 cm H2O (Table 1). These models predicted that the presence of drainage channels maintained above-threshold transmural pressures in more than 89% of the lengths of vessels, whereas the absence of drainage channels would lead to sub-threshold transmural pressures everywhere. (C) Brightfield images on day 9 post-seeding. The drainage channel underneath the microvessel was not in focus. (D) Delamination frequency maps. Vessels v1 to v4 refer to the ones in (A) (with drainage channel, 2n = 18; without drainage channels, 2n = 14). (E) Delaminated length as a fraction of total vessel length. (F) Normalized flow rate of vascularized fibrin patches.

(B) Phase-contrast image of the T-junction in a 30 mg/mL scaffold. (C) Delamination frequency maps of microvessels in 30 mg/mL scaffolds with different δ values, and 20 mg/mL scaffold with δ = 0.5 mm (0.52 ± 0.08 mm, 2n = 26). Conditions for 30 mg/mL scaffold are δ = 0.5 mm (0.47 ± 0.09 mm, 2n = 22), δ = 1 mm (1.02 ± 0.06 mm, 2n = 24), δ = 1.5 mm (1.48 ± 0.10 mm, 2n = 22), δ = 2.5 mm (2.45 ± 0.17 mm, 2n = 20), and δ ~ 6.5 mm (without drainage channel, 2n = 18). (D) Plot of the continuous stable lengths in the middle of vessels.

    Techniques:

    Perfusion and drainage of the centimeter-scale fibrin scaffolds (i.e., fibrin patches). (A) Dimensions of the fibrin patch. The average length of microvessels was 8.7 ± 0.2 mm, and the fibrin patch was 1.6 mm thick. (B) Numerical prediction of pressure profiles and vascular stability in the presence and absence of drainage microchannels, using a vessel LP of 3.2 × 10−10 cm3/dyn·s and a corresponding threshold transmural pressure of 1.14 cm H2O (Table 1). These models predicted that the presence of drainage channels maintained above-threshold transmural pressures in more than 89% of the lengths of vessels, whereas the absence of drainage channels would lead to sub-threshold transmural pressures everywhere. (C) Brightfield images on day 9 post-seeding. The drainage channel underneath the microvessel was not in focus. (D) Delamination frequency maps. Vessels v1 to v4 refer to the ones in (A) (with drainage channel, 2n = 18; without drainage channels, 2n = 14). (E) Delaminated length as a fraction of total vessel length. (F) Normalized flow rate of vascularized fibrin patches.
