摘要: Polymers such as Dacron((R)) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) have been used in high flow states with relative success but limited application at lower states. Newer polymers greater compliance, biomimicry, ability to evolve into hybrid prostheses, suitable smaller vessels, are now being introduced. In view of the advances tissue engineering, this makes possible creation an ideal off-the-shelf bypass graft. We present a broad overview current state prosthetic grafts. (c) 2005 Wiley Periodicals.
