Implantation of completely biological engineered grafts following decellularization into the sheep femoral artery.
The performance of completely biological, decellularized engineered allografts in a sheep model was evaluated to establish clinical potential of these unique arterial allografts. The 4-mm-diameter, 2-3-cm-long grafts were fabricated from fibrin gel remodeled into an aligned tissue tube in vitro by ovine dermal fibroblasts. Decellularization and subsequent storage had little effect on graft prop...
متن کاملMelatonin reduces oxidative stress and improves vascular function in pulmonary hypertensive newborn sheep.
Pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PHN) constitutes a critical condition with severe cardiovascular and neurological consequences. One of its main causes is hypoxia during gestation, and thus, it is a public health concern in populations living above 2500 m. Although some mechanisms are recognized, the pathophysiological facts that lead to PHN are not fully understood, which explains the la...
متن کاملEffects of polycations on pulmonary vascular permeability in conscious sheep.
The role of charged sites on the permeability characteristics of the pulmonary microvascular barrier were investigated using chronically instrumented unanesthetized sheep. In one series of experiments we studied the effects of the cationic amphiphile, dodecyl trimethylamine (DTA; 297 mol wt), and the anionic amphiphile, SDS (288 mol wt), on lung lymph flow rates (Ql), lung lymph to plasma prote...
متن کاملVascular Malformation Overlying the Pulmonary Artery
T HE PRESENCE of an asymptomatic patent ductus arteriosus is usually suspected on the basis of auscultatory findings, and the diagnosis is supported by electrocardiography and roentgenography. Other vascular and cardiac lesions that produce continuous murmurs to the left of the upper sternum are usually symptomatic and are associated with additional changes requiring cardiac catheterization and...
متن کاملLung fluid exchange after uneven pulmonary artery obstruction in sheep.
We studied steady state transvascular fluid and protein exchange after uneven obstruction of the pulmonary arteries. In anesthetized sheep, ventilated by positive pressure, we measured pulmonary artery and left atrial pressures, cardiac output, lung lymph flow, and lymph/plasma protein ratios. We calculated pulmonary vascular resistance. In 16 sheep we obstructed the pulmonary arteries with var...
