title: Influence on healing in the canine thoracic aorta of three substances used to close the interstices of macroporous Dacron grafts.
abstract: The influence on healing of three materials for closure of interstices in a macroporous Dacron arterial prosthesis were evaluated by 56-day implantation in the canine descending thoracic aorta. The materials studied were: the nondenatured fibrin deposited as a result of a 4-step preclot with autogeneic blood (n = 6), heat-coagulated autogeneic blood deposited by autoclaving the blood-soaked prosthesis (n = 6), and cross-linked human albumin (n = 6). Healing of autogeneic fibrin was superior with little difference between the other two materials.
