Autoplastic vein grafts in experimental microsurgery.
The writers discuss the histological results of a study of twelve auto-plastic vein grafts performed by a microsurgical technique on the femoral artery of the rabbit. Our observations, which were made at periods of from one to twelve weeks after the grafts had been performed, revealed the details of the nature and chronological development of the structural changes that occurred in the wall of the graft.
