Abstract:
We report the use of a novel graft material in cardiac surgery, acellular human dermis graft, to repair a left ventricular aneurysm in a patient undergoing surgical ventricular restoration. We also describe the postoperative magnetic resonance imaging characteristics of the dermis graft. We conclude that acellular dermis graft has material handling properties that allow it to be used in left ventricular aneurysm repair. On magnetic resonance imaging, there is no gadolinium enhancement of the graft and the graft is akinetic.

Papillary Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
