Endothelium develops on seeded human arterial prosthesis: a brief clinical note.
Despite a considerable and growing body of evidence that endothelial cell seeding accelerates the healing of arterial prostheses in laboratory animals, there has been no histologic evidence thus far to indicate that a similar process occurs in human beings. A case is reported of histologically confirmed, extensive endothelial healing on a polytetrafluoroethylene femoropopliteal bypass graft 90 days after it was seeded and implanted.
