    Summary

    Bovine heterografts provided reliable vascular access for chemotherapy in 10 patients. These grafts remained functional for extended periods, proving useful for cancer treatment delivery.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Oncology
    • Biomaterials

    Background:

    • Patients undergoing repetitive chemotherapy often face challenges with vascular access.
    • Insufficient vascular access can impede timely and effective cancer treatment delivery.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and durability of bovine heterografts for vascular access in patients requiring chemotherapy.

    Main Methods:

    • Eleven bovine heterografts were implanted in 10 patients with inadequate vascular access.
    • Graft patency and complications were monitored postoperatively.

    Main Results:

    • Six out of eleven grafts remained patent until patient death.
    • Five grafts clotted between 71 and 1110 days postoperatively.

  • No wound infections were reported, and all grafts were initially patent.

    • Conclusions:

    • Bovine heterografts serve as a valuable option for establishing vascular access in cancer patients.
    • These grafts demonstrate a useful role in facilitating repetitive chemotherapy administration.
