Scanning electron microscope study of human veins and aorta-coronary artery vein grafts. 1976

J J Barboriak, and G E Batayias, and M E Korns

Scanning electron microscope study of two vein grafts which were removed after 50 months of implantation as aorta-coronary artery vein grafts showed considerable subendothelial thickening, which consisted of relatively cell-poor fibrous layer. In one of the grafts the endothelial surface was intact; the second graft showed focal loss of endothelial cells. Sections of two fresh human veins, studied prior to their insertion as aorta-coronary artery vein grafts, have shown that they retained an intact endothelial layer. A third fresh vein, however, showed focal damage with missing endothelial cells and adherent fibrin.

D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.
