    Summary

    This study shows that Dacron-covered metallic stents are a promising option for arterial grafts. Most grafts remained open in dogs, with tissue growth supporting the graft structure.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Vascular Surgery
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Arterial graft patency is crucial for restoring blood flow.
    • Endovascular techniques offer less invasive surgical options.
    • Metallic stents provide structural support for grafts.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the patency and tissue response of a novel endovascular graft.
    • To assess the feasibility of using a Dacron-wrapped metallic stent for aortic repair.

    Main Methods:

    • A Dacron cylinder was wrapped around a Gianturco expandable metallic stent.
    • The graft device was delivered via an 11-F catheter into canine aortas.
    • Graft patency and tissue integration were assessed up to 35 weeks post-implantation.

    Main Results:

    • Nine canine subjects received the endovascular graft.
    • Eight out of nine grafts remained patent throughout the follow-up period (7-35 weeks).
    • Histological examination revealed significant neo-intimal proliferation covering the grafts and integrating with the aortic wall.

    Conclusions:

    • The Dacron-wrapped Gianturco stent shows high patency rates in canine aortas.
    • Neo-intimal proliferation suggests successful tissue integration and graft support.
    • This endovascular graft design is a viable option for future vascular applications.
