Endothelial cell seeding of polymeric vascular grafts.
Pioneers in the field of small diameter graft development sought to promote graft endothelialization and, thereby, increase patency by transplanting a varying degree of autologous endothelial cells onto vascular grafts prior to implantation. This process has become known as endothelial cell seeding. The underlying hypothesis is quite simple; that is, by promoting the establishment of the patien...
متن کاملIn vivo h-VEGF165 gene transfer improves early endothelialisation and patency in synthetic vascular grafts.
OBJECTIVES Small-diameter synthetic vascular graft performance is inferior to autologous vein grafts. This study tested the hypotheses that local in vivo administration of plasmids encoding for human vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), or co-administration of plasmids encoding for human vascular endothelial growth factor/plasmids encoding for fibroblast growth factor-2 in the tissues sur...
متن کاملStent placement versus angioplasty improves patency of arteriovenous grafts and blood flow of arteriovenous fistulae.
BACKGROUND While endovascular stent placement is the standard of care in most percutaneous coronary and peripheral artery intervention, its role in the salvage of thrombosed and stenotic hemodialysis access remains controversial. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, AND MEASUREMENTS We compared the effects of stent versus angioplasty on primary patency rates in the treatment of stenotic arterioveno...
متن کاملEndothelial cell seeding.
Endothelial cell seeding is a technique that has developed over the past 15 years in response to the need for a high performance synthetic vascular graft. This review details our present knowledge of seeding and examines the various problems that have hampered its introduction into clinical practice.
متن کاملSix years of clinical follow-up with endothelial cell–seeded small-diameter vascular grafts during coronary bypass surgery
This clinical study was performed to investigate the patency rate of endothelial cell-seeded small-diameter expanded polytetrafluoroethylene grafts during coronary artery bypass surgery. Between September 1995 and December 1998, 14 patients (median age: 71 years, range: 61-79 years) received 21 endothelial cell-seeded small-diameter grafts. In all, 43% of the performed implantations were reoper...
