Evaluation of a hybrid small caliber vascular graft in a rabbit model.
A hybrid small-caliber artificial vascular graft based on bilayer porcine small intestinal submucosa (SIS) with curdlan and dipyridamole mixture film serving as the so-called sandwich filler was developed for biological performance evaluation. We evaluated the performance of the graft and filler. ⋯ The novel hybrid small caliber artificial vascular graft exhibited an improvement in revascularization resulting in high patency rate.
