## Abstract The porosity of a vascular graft material has been suggested as a major factor affecting the rate and degree of neovascularization of newly implanted grafts, with higher porosites generally associated with better performance. The objective of this study was to determine the water porosi

Small-intestine submucosa (SIS) is cell-free collagen, 100 thick, derived from the small intestine. It has been used as a vascular graft and has the highly desirable property of remodeling itself to become host tissue. To date there has been limited reportage on its preimplantation mechanical proper
The feasibility of welding thin-walled microvessels by laser has been established. This report summarizes our experience using laser welding to repair thick-walled, high-pressure, 4 to 8-mm canine arteries using C02, Nd:YAG, and argon lasers. The C02 laser did not produce seals that could withstand
## Abstract Smallβdiameter vascular grafts are potential substitutes for damaged vessels in patients, but most biodegradable grafts available now are not strong enough. The present study examined the burst strength, radial compliance, suture retention strength for a novel biodegradable tubular scaf
## Abstract This study examined the effects of diameter discrepancy between interpositional vein grafts within a range of 0.25 to 2 mm. One hundred rats underwent isolation of a 10 mm segment of the femoral artery, from which a 4 mm segment was removed. Venous grafts measuring 8 Β± 2 mm were interpo
