Improved healing of microvascular PTFE prostheses by induction of a clot layer: an experimental study in rats.

Abstract:

:This study was undertaken to test the hypothesis that the induction of a clot layer on the graft surface of microvascular polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) prostheses might improve their healing. PTFE microvascular prostheses (n = 18), mechanically roughened PTFE microvascular prostheses (n = 18), and Chitosan-impregnated PTFE microvascular prostheses (n = 18) (all prostheses: length 1 cm, inside diameter 1.5 mm, fibril length 30 microns) were implanted into the abdominal aortas of rats and were evaluated at 3 days (n = 3), 10 days (n = 3), 3 weeks (n = 6), and 6 weeks (n = 6) with regard to the presence or absence of a clot layer and with regard to the amount of graft healing. All untreated PTFE prostheses were never found to be covered with a clot layer, only scarcely with some platelets, and showed poor neoendothelial healing; even at 6 weeks after implantation, there was only endothelial cell coverage near the anastomotic sides (coverage = 19 +/- 4 percent). The endothelial cells were present directly on the graft surface. In contrast, both the roughened and the Chitosan-impregnated PTFE prostheses were completely covered with a thin clot layer upon implantation and demonstrated significantly better neoendothelial healing (endothelial cell coverage at 6 weeks = 76 +/- 22 percent and 75 +/- 18 percent, respectively; p less than 0.001); moreover, in these prostheses, the endothelial cells were present on a matrix of smooth-muscle cells, which covered the graft surface completely. These results confirm our hypothesis that the induction of a clot layer on the graft surface of microvascular PTFE prostheses improves their healing.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
