Abstract

The purpose of this study was to perform a preliminary histopathologic analysis of explanted human endovascular stented grafts from patients treated for occlusive disease. Over a 16-month period, 26 endovascular stented grafts were placed in 21 patients with limb-threatening ischemia caused by aortoiliac or femoral artery occlusive disease. All grafts were inserted through open arteriotomies remote from the region of primary disease. During the follow-up period, two patients died of preexisting heart disease 2 weeks and 7 months after grafting, and a portion of their endovascular grafts were the surrounding artery was explanted. Specimens from five other endovascular grafts were obtained during surgical revision for graft stenosis after 3 and 6 weeks and for outflow artery stenosis after 3, 5, and 6 months. All specimens were formalin fixed and studied with hematoxylin and eosin and trichrome staining and immunohistochemically for factor VIII-related antigen, alpha actin smooth muscle, macrophage antigen (MAC-387) and PC-10 (a mouse monoclonal antibody which specifically recognizes proliferating cell nuclear antigen in paraffin sections). Three weeks after placement of the stented grafts, organizing thrombus was present on both...Continue Reading
