[Formaldehyde-fixed human varicose vein bioprosthesis with siliconized inner surface for hemodialysis. Clinical analysis of 165 transplants].

Abstract

With the submitted study of 165 HVV-vessel-transplantations the marking properties like reduced immunogenity, primary athrombogenicity, form fixated vascular lumen, ability for punction, flow reduction and stability for storage were possible to prove. Few complications (thromboses, aneurysms, infections) and also low rate of revision marks the long-term progress of this bioprosthesis. It will be stated with emphasis, that the use of this vascular device is indicated, if the patient's veins for creation of an arteriovenous vascular access is not available. In long-term progress the rate of function is better in comparison with other similar or synthetic materials for prostheses.
