Skin Graft Survival—The Bacterial Answer

Annals of Plastic Surgery, 1989
An in vitro wound model was created to determine the mechanism by which bacteria cause skin graft failure. A wound surface was simulated by a human fibrin clot. Staphylococcus aureus or group A streptococcus was incubated over the clot. Either saline, human plasminogen, aprotinin, or epsilon-aminocaproic acid (EACA), or a combination of these, was ...

Survival and Function of Bioengineered Cardiac Grafts

Circulation, 1999
Introduction —Patients with congenital heart disease frequently require graft material for repair of cardiac defects. However, currently available grafts lack growth potential and are noncontractile and thrombogenic. We have developed a viable cardiac graft that contracts spontaneously in tissue culture by seeding cells derived

Survival of Grafts in Coup de Sabre

Dermatologic Surgery, 2002
Treatment of coup de sabre must remain conservative until the disease is no longer in an active state. When activity has ceased, some operative intervention is safe and effective for the correction of deformity. While hair transplantation showed high survival rates for the correction of cicatricial alopecia, it has not yet been reported to be performed

Influence of the internal-mammary-artery graft on 10-year survival and other cardiac events.

New England Journal of Medicine, 1986
We compared patients who received an internal-mammary-artery graft to the anterior descending coronary artery alone or combined with one or more saphenous-vein grafts (n = 2306) with patients who had only saphenous-vein bypass grafts (n = 3625).

Graft and Patient Survival

2014
Kidney transplantation is agreed upon as the best treatment available for most patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). It not only improves quality of life (Am J Kidney Dis 15(3):201–8, 1990; Kidney Int 50(1):235–42, 1996; N Engl J Med 28;312(9):553–9, 1985; Transplantation 54(4):656–60, 1992) of our patients and reduces medical expense (Kidney ...

The suitability of corneas stored by organ culture for penetrating keratoplasty and influence of donor and recipient factors on 5-year graft survival.

Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science, 2014
PURPOSE To determine the impact of donor factors on the suitability of corneas stored by organ culture for penetrating keratoplasty (PK) and the influence of donor and recipient factors on 5-year survival of first PK.

SKIN GRAFT SURVIVAL ON AVASCULAR DEFECTS

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1975
Full-thickness skin grafts placed on bare rabbit ear cartilage were revascularized, whereas split-skin grafts on the same kinds of areas failed. The contrast is most likely due to differences in the skin graft thickness and the vascular patterns in the grafts.

Bone Graft Survival in Expanded Skin

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1988
The effect of tissue expansion on iliac bone graft (onlay) survival was studied on the skulls of 35 New Zealand white rabbits. Wet bone weights at the time of grafting and at sacrifice in control animals (group I) were compared to three experimental groups.

Renal Graft Survival and Calcineurin Inhibitor

Transplantation, 2005
Tacrolimus is associated with fewer acute rejections than cyclosporine, but a greater risk of new onset diabetes mellitus. When compared to no tacrolimus among nondiabetics in a large patient registry, it is associated with improved graft survival.

The influence of donor age on graft survival

The American Journal of Surgery, 1979
Recent papers report differing conclusions concerning use of kidneys from different donor age groups. We analyzed graft survival of 652 consecutive cadaver kidney donor-recipient pairs. Overall cumulative graft survival was 45 per cent at two years post transplantation. Kidneys from donors aged less that fifteen, sixteen to thirty.
