[Problem of biological tolerance of vessel prostheses from dacron and synthetic fibre material].
In human beings there have been no observations of heterogenous sarcoma after application of macromolecular artificial implants although such materials have been applied for the last 25 years. Only benign granulomas and inflammatory processes have been described. This paper describes the appearance of double-refraction artificial particles in macrophages and in granulomas encapsulated in the neighborhood of Dacron arterial prosthesis and synthetic suture materials. These processes are possibly an expression of a biological discharge of the implants.
