Microvascular endothelial cell sodding of 1-mm expanded polytetrafluoroethylene vascular grafts.
The formation of an endothelial cell lining on the inner surface of polymeric grafts may reduce the inherent thrombogenicity of synthetic implants. Endothelial cell transplantation onto the luminal surface of grafts has been suggested as one method of creating new endothelial cell linings on grafts. The purpose of this study was to morphologically evaluate the very early events of healing (betw...
متن کاملPaclitaxel-coated expanded polytetrafluoroethylene haemodialysis grafts inhibit neointimal hyperplasia in porcine model of graft stenosis.
BACKGROUND The main pathology of haemodialysis graft stenosis is venous neointimal hyperplasia at graft-venous anastomoses. Neointimal hyperplasia is also observed in cases of coronary artery in-stent restenosis. Paclitaxel is a chemotherapeutic agent used to treat cancer, and has been proven to inhibit neointimal hyperplasia of coronary artery in-stent restenosis. In this study, we examined wh...
متن کاملSurgical outcomes after superior vena cava reconstruction with expanded polytetrafluoroethylene grafts.
OBJECTIVES Graft occlusion is a problem after superior vena cava (SVC) reconstruction for thoracic malignancy. Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) is considered to be an optimal material for venous reconstruction. METHODS We reviewed the hospital records of 13 patients who underwent complete resection of thoracic malignancy invading the SVC, including SVC reconstruction with ePTFE grafts...
متن کاملHomemade expanded-polytetrafluoroethylene flexible mitral annuloplasty ring.
A homemade mitral annular prosthesis has been developed using expanded-polytetrafluoroethylene material. It is safe in that it avoids the risk of prosthesis wrinkle when stitches are tied. Simultaneously, it is strong enough to prevent future stretching and rupture. This device has been implanted in 60 patients with good and stable results at 42 months of follow-up. Our flexible mitral annular ...
متن کاملOne-year efficacy of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene vascular graft in eighty-three hemodialysis patients.
INTRODUCTION Our aim was to evaluate the patency and efficacy of expanded Polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) vascular graft in hemodialysis patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a prospective study from January 1999 to January 2001 at Sina hospital 41 patients underwent implantation of 6-mm vascular grafts and 42 underwent implantation of 8-mm grafts in order to make vascular assess for hemodialysi...
