- Abstract
Three currently available cardiovascular suture materials (braided dacron, polypropylene, PTFE) were compared in a series of abdominal aortic grafting in the beagle dog, aiming at the definition of tissue response. Optimal acceptance by tissues was demonstrated for monofilaments (PTFE, polypropylene); braided dacron was shown to cause a heavy and prolonged tissue reaction.
