Abstract
An in vitro model of vascular damage was used to investigate the ability of seeded endothelial cells to resist shear stresses generated in a perfusion circuit. At perfusion rates of 100 ml/min the maximum shear stress reached 16.5 dyn/cm2. At this level the rate of cell detachment from the damaged vascular surface was 88 per cent per h for the first 20 min of flow but gradually decreased to 5 per cent per h after 90 min. These findings suggest that endothelial cells may be retained on damaged vascular surfaces in conditions that approximate to arterial flow.
