Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Review Description
The long-term stability and safety of polymeric vascular grafts, particularly those made of polyurethane, have been a major concern due to biodegradation problems and biocompatibility issues. This review aims to provide an overview of the development history, performance characteristics, and current status of polyurethane vascular grafts. Specifically, it focuses on the biological performance issues associated with polyurethane materials used in artificial vascular applications. Additionally, the review outlines various surface modification methods that have been employed to improve the biocompatibility of polyurethane and discusses the advancements made in the process technology of new polyurethane vessels. By utilizing modification strategies, polyurethane has been transformed from an inert material to a bioactive material. Furthermore, electrospinning technology has further enhanced the performance of polyurethane in vascular applications. Finally, the potential of polyurethane materials for clinical applications in vascular medicine is evaluated.
