The physiologic determinants of leukocyte migration on vascular prosthetic biomaterials remain poorly understood, despite their relevance to the control of periprosthetic infection. Using hemodynamic exposure of human polymorphonuclear leukocytes adherent to expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) in vitro, we investigated the role of fluid shear in regulating leukocyte migratory behavior on p...
A comparison between a bovine jugular vein treated with a hydrophilic polyepoxy compound cross-linker (Denacol), and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (EPTFE), an artificial material, as a patch graft for the reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract under extracorporeal circulation in dogs, as if they had pulmonic stenosis, was made. Hemodynamic and histological examinations were co...
OBJECTIVE To compare the biomechanical properties of the superficial (human acellular dermis); (AlloDerm; LefeCell Corp, Branchburg, NJ) and deep layers of cadaveric dermis and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE); (Gore-Tex; W. L. Gore & Associates, Flagstaff, Ariz). METHODS Sixteen samples of superficial dermis (AlloDerm), 12 samples of deep dermis, and 12 samples of ePTFE were axial lo...
Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) porous material (GORE(®) PRECLUDE(®) Dura Substitute) does not degenerate or deteriorate in vivo, and is currently used as artificial dura mater. This material does not adhere well to the surrounding tissues, but cerebrospinal fluid leakage along the suture line has been observed in several cases. We describe a case of craniotomy for tumor resection perf...
OBJECTIVE This study was to evaluate the efficacy of the hyaluronic acid (HA) bioabsorbable membrane combined use with both expanded-polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) and autologous pericardium for preventing postoperative pericardial adhesions. METHODS The HA bioresorbable surgical membrane (Seprafilm, Genzyme, Cambridge, Mass) was used with either ePTFE or autologous pericardium in an experim...
IMPORTANCE The ideal alloplastic implant for correction of traumatic nasal deformity has not been adequately examined. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the safety profile and postoperative results of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) implants used in functional nasal surgery (FNS) in the setting of traumatic nasal deformity. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS We conducted a 13-year retrospective...
Device-related infections in recipients of left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) have been recognized as a major source of morbidity and mortality. They require a high level of diagnostic effort as part of the overall burden resulting from infectious complications in LVAD recipients. We present a multi-allergic patient who was treated for persistent sterile intrathoracic abscess formation and ...
The aim of this study was to compare connective tissue and bacterial deposits on silicone sheets (SS) and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene membranes (ePTFE) used as barrier membranes in guided tissue regeneration (GTR) for periodontal treatment. Eighteen intrabony periodontal lesions from 18 patients were first surgically treated by GTR and either SS or ePTFE were used as barrier membranes. Fou...
OBJECTIVES The CARMAT total artificial heart (TAH) is an implantable, electro-hydraulically driven, pulsatile flow device with four bioprosthetic valves. Its blood-pumping surfaces consist of processed bioprosthetic pericardial tissue and expanded polytetrafluorethylene (ePTFE), potentially allowing for the reduction of anti-coagulation. This pre-clinical study assessed the in vitro haemocompat...
BACKGROUND Mitral valve repair is the procedure of choice to correct mitral regurgitation (MR). Although chordal replacement with expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) has been widely accepted to repair anterior mitral prolapse and other difficult situations, the long-term results of the repair and the fate of ePTFE have not been delineated. METHODS AND RESULTS From July 1988 to April 1999...
