Stenosis at vein-graft anastomosis Neointimal Hyperplasia development
Neointimal hyperplasia associated with synthetic hemodialysis grafts. Li L, Terry CM, Shiu YT, Cheung AK. Kidney Int. 2008 Nov;74(10):1247-61.
Various factors have been proposed to predispose the development of neointimal hyperplasia • The three most important are: • the disturbance of hemodynamic conditions in the region of anastomosis • vein-wall vibration • mismatched compliance between graft and vein
mismatched compliance between graft and vein the disturbance of hemodynamic conditions in the region of anastomosis Vein-wall vibration
Vein interposition cuffs decrease the intimal hyperplastic response of polytetrafluoroethylene bypass grafts. Kissin M, Kansal N, Pappas PJ, DeFouw DO, Durán WN, Hobson RW 2nd. J Vasc Surg. 2000 Jan;31(1 Pt 1):69-83. The use of The Vein Cuff and PTFE Neointimal hyperplasia Neointimal hyperplasia - PTFE PTFE - - - - Vein cuff stenosis stenosis The use of the vein cuff shifts the neointimal hyperplasia development from vessel wall – graft anastomosis to cuff-graft anastomosis
At this moment ePTFE vascular graft manufacturer technology does not permit to build an ePTFE vascular graft with radial stretch This invention exceed this technologic gap by means of ePTFE hand- made cuff with radial stretch using usual ePTFE stretch Gore vascular graft (standard-walled, thin-walled, Intering, Propaten) or different type of ePTFE vascular grafts with longitudinal stretch.
an experimental study on animal model (pig) in collaboration with Faculty of Veterinary of Bologna University Twelve ePTFE stretch grafts (six modified grafts and six non modified grafts) were surgically placed as artero-venous graft between carotid artery and external jugular vein in six pigs. In each pig were placed one modified ePTFE stretch graft at one side and one corresponding model non-modified ePTFE stretch graft at the other side as control graft. In four pigs were used standard stretch ePTFE Gore grafts and in two pigs heparine-bonded stretch Gore grafts; 3 pigs were also treated with antiplatelet drug. All implanted grafts had a total length of 8 cm and a diameter size of 6 mm. This study had been previously submitted to Ethical Commitee on Animal Experimentation (October 28, 2009) and sent to Italian Ministry of Health (November 18, 2009)
