Surface thrombogenicity is recognized as an important factor in the failure of small caliber vascular prostheses. The baboon ex vivo shunt was developed to study small caliber grafts under controlled conditions at different flow rates. The shunt was created by percutaneous insertion of catheters into the baboon femoral artery and vein. Platelet-graft interactions were studied using autogenous indium 111 labeled platelets. Two graft materials were placed in series and exposed to blood flow for 2 1/2 hours at flow rates of 25 and 200 ml/min. At the end of this period, the grafts were removed for morphologic examination. Platelet adhesion to the grafts, especially with the less thrombogenic materials (PTFE and HUV), was found to be independent of flow rate. PTFE was found to be the least platelet-reactive material, HUV was intermediate, and knitted Dacron was the most thrombogenic surface. Platelet deposition on the flow surface was confirmed by light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy.

Urinary bladder dysfunction can be caused by environmental, genetic, and developmental insults. Depending upon insult severity, the bladder may lose its ability to maintain volumetric capacity and intravesical pressure resulting in renal deterioration. Bladder augmentation enterocystoplasty (BAE) is utilized to increase bladder capacity to preserve renal function using autologous bowel tissue as a "patch.

Conceptually, a tissue engineered heart valve would be especially appealing in the pediatric setting since small size and somatic growth constraints would be alleviated. In this study, we utilized porcine small intestinal submucosa (PSIS) for valve replacement. Of note, we evaluated the material responses of PSIS and subsequently its acute function and somatic growth potential in the mitral position.

The healing process, occurring after intra-cardiac and intra-vascular device implantation, starts with fibrin condensation and attraction of inflammatory cells, followed by the formation of fibrous tissue that slowly covers the device. The duration of this process is variable and may be incomplete, which can lead to thrombus formation, dislodgement of the device or stenosis. To better understand this process and the neotissue formation, animal models were developed: small (rats and rabbits) and large (sheep, pigs, dogs and baboons) animal models for intra-vascular device implantation; sheep and pigs for intra-cardiac device implantation.

While clinical vascular grafting uses an end-to-side surgical method, researchers primarily use end-to-end implant techniques in preclinical models. This may be due in part to the limitations of using small animal models in research. The work presented here provides support and evidence for the improvement of vascular graft implant techniques by demonstrating the successful implantation of experimental grafts into both large and small animal models.
