Reinforced Collagen Tubes for the Management of Peripheral Vascular Injury.

Abstract

Allograft and xenograft collagen tubes were prepared and evaluated by implantation into the circulatory system of mongrel dogs. Femoral interposition grafts, aortoiliac grafts, and carotid-to-jugular shunts were utilized. A variety of preservation methods were evaluated after it became evident that 'fresh' graft material would not remain patent. Different techniques for storage and preservation of the collagen tubes resulted in a grated patency rate but that fresh, autogenous vein grafts remained superior for the management of peripheral vascular injury.
