“…1,2 It was assumed that the endothelium observed on these vascular grafts grew from the original vessel ends at the site of anastomosis, and any patches of endothelium discontinuous with this endothelium arose from microvasculature penetrating the interstices of the graft (perhaps through development of vaso vasorum). 1,3 Stump et al 4 directly addressed the question of whether circulating cells would colonize an artificial substrate implanted intravascularly by suspending a piece of Dacron material within a pig aortic graft, thereby isolating the surface of the Dacron material from any opposing microvasculature.…”

“…The first implants performed in the 1950s [31,32] and 1960s [33,34] were able to substantially change the course of certain vascular diseases such as arteriosclerosis. In the 1970s, the biomedical application of materials such as ePTFE [35,36] opened up a range of possibilities for the fight against chronic obstructive vascular disease.…”

Research on the use of biomaterials as vascular substitutes has been dominated in the past by studies focusing on the properties of the materials used. These need to be resistant to protein absorption and should allow cell colonization and integration of the biomaterial within recipient tissue. Despite promising perspectives related both to the appearance of new synthetic materials with biomedical applications and to developments in arterial replacement techniques, there are still many unresolved problems. These include the appearance of occlusive phenomena when using medium- or small-calibre arterial substitutes, and the lack of growth and adaptability of the biomaterial to changes in the host. Notwithstanding, the tissue-engineering techniques developed in recent decades have vastly improved prosthetic behaviour at the blood/biomaterial interface. There is also no doubt that developments in engineered arterial grafts made of natural biomaterials colonized with cells harvested from the recipient patient are drawing us closer and closer to achieving the living graft.
