Vascular grafts diameter

The worldwide market for vascular grafts was approximately 150 million and growing at about 5% annuaUy as of 1995. The vascular graft area has tremendous market potential in development of smaU-diameter grafts of 3—4 mm for coronary bypass surgery. The total market for the intra-aortic baUoon pump, a cardiac-assist device, is ca 80 million worldwide. About 75,000 patients were supported by these baUoon pumps in 1994. This market is thought to have peaked. [Pg.192]

Over half a million vascular graft replacements are performed yearly. Most of these grafts are made of PET and PTFE. These relatively large diameter grafts work when blood flow is rapid, but they generally fail for smaller vessels. [Pg.190]

In this study, we describe the modification of PTFE by a chemical method in combination with a biochemical method leading to an improved cell adhesion. The modification was first developed with punched disks from PTEE film, and was then transferred to commercially available vascular grafts made of PTEE. The aim was to retain the mechanical properties of the polymer so that only the biological properties of the inner surface of the graft were changed. Thus it would become possible to couple adhesion proteins to the previously inert and hydrophobic polymer surface to favor adhesion and attachment of endothelial cells (ECs) withstanding shear stress as it occurs in small-diameter vascular grafts. [Pg.159]

Vascular grafts are used in surgery to replace damaged thick arteries or veins 6 mm, 8 mm, or 1 cm in diameter. Commercially available vascular grafts are produced from polyester (e.g. Dacron) or PTFE (e.g. Teflon) with either woven or knitted structures... [Pg.153]
