Polyester Vascular Graft Material and Risk for Intracavitary Thoracic Vascular Graft Infection
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2020 Prosthetic vascular graft infections of the thoracic aorta are rare but can be fatal. Our comparison of collagen- and gelatin-coated grafts showed that collagen-coated grafts were associated with increased biofilm formation and bacterial adherence in ...

Hemodynamics and Wall Mechanics of Vascular Graft Failure. [PDF]
Arterioscler Thromb Vasc BiolBlood vessels are subjected to complex biomechanical loads, primarily from pressure-driven blood flow. Abnormal loading associated with vascular grafts, arising from altered hemodynamics or wall mechanics, can cause acute and progressive vascular failure
