Abstract: The human saphenous vein endothelial cells were successfully dissociated and cultured by using the human saphenous vein segments leftover from cardiac bypass surgery. Endothelial cells were received, proliferated, frozen, and resuscitated by using digestive enzyme. The content of living cells produced using this method is very high and the passage cells were similar to the primary culture in shape and on the growth rate. It was also shown that endothelial cells line in vitro can be established simply and timely using this method.
