Some would argue that if a monolayer of ECs is the ultimate goal, then why not seed the patient s ECs directly on the luminal surface. This was originally attempted experimentally by Herring in 1978, and the subsequent first autologous human EC transplantation onto a Dacron prosthesis was disappointing, primarily because of the limited seeding density used. Now that we have found more abundant sources for ECs (e.g., i.e saphenous, cephalic...

The Beall disc valve is a very stenotic valve design. If the assumptions about its in vitro fluid dynamic characteristics are correct, the wall and turbulent shear stress created by this valve could easily damage the endothelial lining of the vessel walls, and cause sublethal and/or lethal damage to blood elements, respectively. In addition, if the red cells were to attach themselves to the Dacron velour cloth covering, the shear stresses adjacent to the valve superstructure would be more than sufficient to cause lethal red cell damage (hemolysis). This has been observed clinically with this prosthesis and the cloth covered Starr-Edwards ball valves.

Less frequent complications include prosthesis infection and structural changes such as graft dilatation, a problem more prevalent in Imitted Dacron prostheses than other graft types (Robinson et al., 1999).

Since the current prosthesis materials (Dacron and Teflon) are thrombogenic, our approach to solving the small diameter vascular prosthesis problem was to develop a blood compatible polymer. Much of these studies have been summarized in Reference 1. One of the polymers that we prepared which appeared to have a nonthrombogenic surface was a block copolyether-urethane-urea material. However, when this urethane material was fabricated into small diameter solid wall tubes and implanted in dogs, occlusion occurred within several days. Prostheses recovered from these experiments gave evidence that the thrombus was originating at the anastomosis between the artery and the prosthesis. We believed that a mismatch in compliance between the polymer and...
