Long-term biological fate of polyurethane aortic prostheses.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A study was carried out to investigate the biological fate of spongy polyurethane aortic prostheses after a period of implantation of 7 to 10 years in dogs. The present findings indicate that this material is in a sense accepted by the organism (not only tolerated) because almost complete reorganization of the arterial elastic structures inside the prostheses and the formation of arterial branches from the prostheses were observed.

Breast prostheses are implanted for augmentation or during reconstructive surgery. One of the more commonly used prostheses is the polyurethane-sponge-covered silicone gel implant. Some clinicians are concerned about the safety of this product because the polyurethane foam disintegrates in vivo, and its subsequent fate is not known. Polyurethane is a polymer formed by reacting diisocyanates and...

Aortic valve stenosis is the most common valve disease in the western world. Over the past few years the number of aortic valve replacement (AVR) interventions has increased with outcomes that have been improved despite increasing age of patients and increasing burden of comorbidities. However, despite such excellent results and its well-established position, conventional AVR has undergone grea...

BACKGROUND Shoulder resurfacing has regained popularity in recent years. This report presents the long-term (>20 years) results of this procedure with regard to patient satisfaction and implant survival. MATERIALS AND METHODS We followed up 61 patients who underwent shoulder resurfacing procedures (74 shoulders) for a minimum of 20 years or until death (7 additional patients were lost to foll...
متن کاملLong-term safety and effectiveness of mechanical versus biologic aortic valve prostheses in older patients: results from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons Adult Cardiac Surgery National Database.
BACKGROUND There is a paucity of long-term data comparing biological versus mechanical aortic valve prostheses in older individuals. METHODS AND RESULTS We performed follow-up of patients aged 65 to 80 years undergoing aortic valve replacement with a biological (n=24 410) or mechanical (n=14 789) prosthesis from 1991 to 1999 at 605 centers within the Society of Thoracic Surgeons Adult Cardiac...
