Perioperative Outcomes: Polycarbonate Polyurethane Artificial Blood Vessel Versus Polyester Artificial Blood Vessel

This study provides preliminary evidence that the novel artificial blood vessel has good mechanical properties, histocompatibility, hemocompatibility, and anti-seepage function in the human body. A multicenter randomized controlled trial is needed for further validation.Clinical ImpactThe novel hybrid polycarbonate polyurethane (PCU)/polyester three-layered large-diameter artificial blood vessel simulates the internal, middle, and external layers of the human blood vessels. The inner and outer layer are made of PCU, and the middle reinforcing layer is woven by polyester. Because of the three-layered structure, this artificial blood vessel has excellent anti-seepage and anti-infection functions. the inner and outer layers of the blood vessel made of PCU let this artificial blood vessel has excellent blood compatibility, outstanding biocompatibility, high endothelialization rate, and 100% patency. By comparing the perioperative outcomes with the polyester artificial blood vessel, we find it has good mechanical properties, histocompatibility, hemocompatibility and anti-seepage function in the human body.
