Blood Vessel Replacement. In 1980, about 110,000 coronary bypass operations were performed in the United States. Many other blood vessel replacements and/or repairs are done each year because of disease, accident, or other trauma. Although many of these replacements are made with autogenous materials (e.g., saphenous veins for arterial bypass operations), in cases of advanced coronary disease such use is not feasible, and some other material is...

Superhydrophobic surfaces have a number of potential applications such as dust-free and self-cleaning surfaces for solar cells and satellite dishes, corrosion-resistant surfaces for heat transfer devices, transparent and antireflective surfaces, anti-freezing and anti-snow surfaces [1], The fact that Uquid in contact with such surface slides with low friction su ests applications such as the fabrication of microfluidics and medical devices. The non-wettable character has been claimed in biomedical applications ranging from blood vessel replacement to wound management [6], Other unexpected applications will emerge as the technology of making non-wettable surfaces matures.

FIFE is no longer used as material for hip joint sockets because of excessive wear. Expanded FIFE is used for blood vessel replacement for which good results have been published for large-lumen vessels however, assessments of narrow-lumen vessels are controversial [1003].
