This seems interesting... would be nice to follow it. I know Dr. Mehta is planning to eventually do vein-bypass type procedures for ccsvi cases

This is the last email I got from Carrie cox at Humacyte
cox@humacyte.com

I'm sorry Jan, but we are not in the clinic yet. We hope to start our first human trial next year.

All the best,
Carrie

There are veins made at another company that are on the market now. Not bioengineered.

Here is the email I got from them back in February.
Many thanks for your email. We supply ePTFE grafts that have a unique technology which restore natural blood flow. Have you seen our website? www.tayflow.com
If you could let me know where you live, I could put you in touch with the local distributor?

Kind regards,
Katie
