A comparison of external velour and double velour Dacron grafts in the canine thoracic aorta. 1985

M Zammit, and H D Wu, and L R Sauvage

Six external velour (Bionit C. R. Bard, Inc.; Billerica, MA) and 11 double velour (Microvel Meadox Medicals, Inc.; Oakland, NJ) warp-knit Dacron grafts with lengths of 6 cm and diameters of 8 mm were implanted in the canine upper descending thoracic aorta for 56 days. Differences were observed: four of 11 double velour grafts developed major perigraft hematomas, while none of the external velour grafts exhibited this complication. Healing of the external velour grafts was virtually complete (average full wall healing and endothelial-like cell coverage of 97.0%, SD 5.9%) in contrast to the seven (of 11) double velour grafts that were free of perigraft hematoma (average full wall healing and endothelial-like cell coverage of 40.9%, SD 20.9%).

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D001705 Bioprosthesis Prosthesis, usually heart valve, composed of biological material and whose durability depends upon the stability of the material after pretreatment, rather than regeneration by host cell ingrowth. Durability is achieved 1, mechanically by the interposition of a cloth, usually polytetrafluoroethylene, between the host and the graft, and 2, chemically by stabilization of the tissue by intermolecular linking, usually with glutaraldehyde, after removal of antigenic components, or the use of reconstituted and restructured biopolymers.
