Abstract
The immunohistochemical results showed that the distribution of the collagen types in calf carotis is the same as that found in human arteries. Mechanically prepared and ficin-treated vessels showed a removal of cells, elastic fibres and type III collagen. The remaining collagen meshwork was shown by immunohistochemical methods and also by amino acid analysis to be type I collagen. Because of its structural, chemical and immunological properties, the protease treated, aldehyde stabilised Arteria carotis communis of the calf is suitable as a replacement material for arterial segments. Initial successes using man as a recipient support the stated conclusion. Die immunhistochemischen Ergebnisse zeigen in der Kollagentypenverteilung der Kalbscarotis den humanen arteriellen Gefäßen vergleichbare Befunde. Mechanisch präparierte, im dynamischen Verfahren mit Ficin behandelte Gefäße zeigen eine Elimination von Zellen, elastischen Fasern und Typ III Kollagen. Der zurückbleibende Kollagenstrumpf wurde nicht nur immunhistochemisch, sondern auch durch die Aminosäureanalyse als Typ I Kollagen identifiziert. Aufgrund ihrer strukturellen, chemischen und immunologischen Eigenschaften ist die mit gesteuerter Proteolyse behandelte und anschließend mit Aldehydgruppen stabilisierte Arteria carotis communis des Kalbes als Ersatz für Arteriensegmente geeignet. Erste Erfolge von Einsätzen beim Menschen bestätigen die erhobenen Befunde.Keywords
