β¦ Synopsis
Abstract
A new solidβwall vascular graft which has a compliance approximating that of the natural artery has been prepared from a copolyetherβurethane material. Six of nine of these compliant grafts implanted in dogs were patent on removal, the longest implant time being 77 days for a 4βmm I.D. femoral artery graft. This is in contrast to noncompliant grafts of the same copolyurethane in which failure usually occurred within 48 hr.

## Abstract Utilizing rats as a model, it was demonstrated that both iliac crest bone and porous carbon disks, when used as onlay grafts, become vascularized as early as 3 days. There is no significant difference between the two. The soft tissues, periosteum, and recipient bone are all capable of s
Although arterial vasodilation is a well-known feature in patients with cirrhosis, the venous system remains unexplored. To measure total effective vascular compliance, a reflection of the properties of the venous system, rapid volume expansion (300 ml of a gelatin solution in 3 min) was performed i
