The opening characteristics and damages by piercing through the arteriograf is of the bovine and swine for hemodialysis

Abstract

The arteriografts clinically used to serve as blood access for hernodialysis will often be occluded in the hemodialysis practise. The occlusion of the arteriografts is one of the most important problems in hernodialysis. The cause and the mechanism have not yet clearly known and remains unsolved. In connection with elucidating them, in the present article the opening characteristics as fracture phenomena of the bovine and the swine arteriografts by the piercing of a needle has beerl studied.
