Research Abstract |
The inside neointima formation of polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE) grafts may be associated with the migration of outside fibroblasts to the luminal surfaces. In this study we have demonstrated that the migration of outside fibroblasts into inside of the PTFE grafts is indeed participated in the neointima formation by performing a comparative investigation with use of two different types of prosthetic vessels, the porous PTFE graft and the impermeable Grasil graft, respectively.
