Abstract
Dacron graft prostheses are routinely implanted to overcome impairment of arterial flow to distal tissues. Many different fabric configurations were developed and evaluated. After implantation, the flow surface of any graft persists as a fibrinous lining. No human specimen has a commonly ingrown extension of tissue exceeding some millimeters in length. Full wall healing and endothelialization of arterial prosthesis is a goal that must be pursued intensively because the goal is probably attainable.This publication has 18 references indexed in Scilit:
