There is still a need for a viable small-diameter synthetic vascular graft. The expanded PTFE device appears to be the best presently available, but is still inferior to the autologous saphenous vein. Recently, a novel microporous, small-diameter vascular graft fabricated from Mitrathane, a polyether urethane urea (PEUU), has been developed. In this article, we report the findings of an in vitro evaluation of the morphological, mechanical, and chemical properties of this new device. The results are compared with those of established vascular prostheses made from alternative materials including expanded PTFE and bovine heterograft, and with natural blood vessels. The PEUU graft displays good mechanical properties in spite of the presence of some structural defects or anomalies. In particular it compares favorably to the expanded PTFE device by providing both superior radial compliance and improved suture tearing strength.

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.
