Abstract
The manufacture of a polyester vascular prosthesis in the southern hemisphere is a new development in the global dissemination of this maturing technology. Hence the recent introduction of the Barone Microvelour® arterial graft from Argentina has highlighted the need for a comparative in vitro and in vivo study to compare its structure and performance with that of existing commercial products. Following a series of laboratory tests and implantations as a thoracoabdominal bypass in dogs, the Barone Microvelour® has been identified as a strong graft constructed after the style of early weft-knitted designs. It provides an equivalent sequence and rate of healing to that of other polyester knitted grafts.Keywords
