Homotransplantation of Arterial Segments Preserved by the Freeze-Drying Method

Application of Electrochemical Techniques to the Solution of Problems in Medicine

“…We eventually succeeded in furthering Marangoni's original technique (19) by preserving homograft h u m a n vessels for use in man. These were the first room t e m p e r a t u r estored blood vessels.…”

“…in that they provided further information c o n c e r n i n g the potential across the electric double layer, and the effect of BP, in modulation of ion transport (Fig. 17a, b, [18][19][20] which conventionally exists in the vasculature. This is of the order of one-half million to one million electron volts per centimeter (Fig.…”

“…Therefore, several methods have been developed to pro long the period of storage. These include preservation by formalinization (55,56), quick-freezing (57,58,59), or lyophilization (60,61,62). The early work of Gross and his co-workers (4) indicated that the demonstration of the viability of the cells by tissue culture is a desirable attribute of the method of preservation.…”
