Preclotting and thrombosis of a dacron prosthesis. A scanning electron microscope study.
The authors report eht study of preclotting made on a knitted Dacron prostheses before implantation into a patient. Within 24 h of implantation, clotting occurred. The patient had to be reoperated, and a second preclotting followed. Specimens were removed at different times and fixed in a Rembaum solution before being dried and studied by scanning electron microscopy.
