✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Polymers such as Dacron® and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) have been used in high flow states with relative success but with limited application at lower flow states. Newer polymers with greater compliance, biomimicry, and ability to evolve into hybrid prostheses, suitable as smaller vessels, are now being introduced. In view of the advances in tissue engineering, this makes possible the creation of an ideal off‐the‐shelf bypass graft. We present a broad overview of the current state of prosthetic bypass grafts. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Biomed Mater Res Part B: Appl Biomater, 2005

Currently, the most effective treatment of gastric cancer is surgical resection of the tumor with lymphadenectomy, which is the standard treatment in Japan. It is important to determine whether chemotherapy or immunochemotherapy regimens may prolong the survival of patients with gastric cancer. Alth
