Abstract

Autogenous mesothelium was used as venous substitute in ten dogs. Patches of mesothelium of three different origins were grafted into the anterior wall of the common iliac veins (CIV): peritoneum taken from and including the posterior rectus sheath (PRS), simple peritoneum (P) and mesentery (M). Animals were killed after 2, 4, 8, and 16 days and after 3 months. The segments of CIV, including the patches, were removed for study. On light microscopy, the PRS grafts showed a normal mesothelium but marked submesothelial fibrosis. The M and P grafts showed normal mesothelium and only mild fibrous thickening. On scanning electron microscopy, there was a perfect continuity of the mesothelial cells and the normal endothelium at the suture line. In the center of the graft, the cells had become elongated along the axis of blood flow. Fibrinolytic activity (FA) was measured by a standardized fibrin plate technique and quantitated in tissue activator units per gram of tissue (TAU/g). The mean FA of iliac vein specimens was 1101.7 +/- 133.3 TAU/g (mean +/- SEM). The mean FA determined before grafting for each kind of mesothelium was the following: PRS = 418.8 +/- 26.9 TAU/g; P = 873.0 +/- 107.1 TAU/g; M = 1142.3 +/- 91.4 TAU/g where only PR...Continue Reading
