Abstract

Th® basic problem, to which the following pages are devoted, was to determine the feasibility of autogenous peritoneum, external oblique fascia and inert polyethylene film as aortic grafts In doge. Today, the most successful and acceptable graft la homogeneous aorta obtained from Blood Vessel Banks. The thought was entertained that if a substitute for homogeneous aortic grafts could be found, especially if readily available, non-vital, or, if synthetic. Inexpensive and plentiful, a new approach to vascular grafting could be developed, many experimental uses of the ^improbable11 have resulted in clues to new approaches to scientific problems.
