✦ Synopsis

Information obtained from physical and chemical characterization of vascular grafts can prove valuable in obtaining a preliminary assessment of potential in vivo performance. The data presented illustrate the concept and show that the new biological graft made from bovine ureters has adequate performance characteristics for use as a potentially successful vascular graft.
