[Ultrastructure of the new endothelium in polyester aortic prosthesis].
The development of a new intima in polyester prostheses Dallon implanted into the abdominal part of dog's aorta was tested in the scanning and transmission electron microscope. It was proved that during the first month of the experiment morphoetic elements of blood appeared on the graft surface and later within 36 months smooth muscle cells, collagen fibres and small amounts of elasticin could be found. The process of endothelialization began in the 4 month and after 12 months the graft was totally covered by endothelium. The picture in the SEM especially in the central part differed from the picture of normal arterial endothelium.
