Quantification of Vascular Ingrowth into Dacron® VelourCollagen Corporation Research and Development 1850 Embarcadero Road Palo Alto, CA 94303
Biomedical Engineering University of Alabama at Birmingham Birmingham, AL 35294 Evaluation of vascular ingrowth into Dacron® velour was performed to compare methods and to determine the amount of vascular ingrowth. Microcasting and direct measurement were compared based on their ability to quantify ingrowth, the type of information obtainable, and the time required for data acquisition. Microcasting did not produce results indicative of the actual vascular ingrowth; however, direct measurement of histological slides gave quantifiable data for comparing vascular ingrowth.
Key Words: tissue ingrowth Dacron® velour vascular ingrowth quantification.
