Abstract
The previous study of the BIAS-CUT arti ial blood vessels clarified the capability keeping the inner capsule thin and mainning the biological porosity.
In oraer to extend the application of is type of graft to the small caliber ery, 4mm I. D. and 5.7cm long BIAS-CUT ificial blood vessels, hand made of Millit patch cloth, were implanted in the place the external iliac arteries of dogs.
Patency was confirmed by angiography /or autopsy. The specimen obtained 8 ths after implantation, for example, showsy thin and clear inner capsule. Over all ency was 70% on the bias-cut grafts and on the control side of 4mm I. D. Microt respectively in a period of one year.
Though the present experiments are still continuation and the data based mainly on findings within one year after implantan, the preliminary data presented heree advantages for the application of artiial blood vessels with small diameter.
