Journal ArticleDOI
The Mechanical Behavior of Vascular Grafts: A Review
Henryk J. Salacinski,Sean Goldner,A Giudiceandrea,George Hamilton,Alexander M. Seifalian,Alan Edwards,Robert J. Carson +6 more
TL;DR: How mechanical properties including compliance mismatch, diameter mismatch, Young’s modulus and impedance phase angle affect graft failure due to intimal hyperplasia is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Compliance properties of conduits used in vascular reconstruction.
TL;DR: The aim was to quantify the elastic properties of a new compliant poly(carbonate)polyurethane (CPU) vascular graft, and to compare the compliance properties of grafts made from CPU, expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE), Dacron and human saphenous vein with that of human muscular artery.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vivo biostability of a poly(carbonate-urea)urethane graft.
Alexander M. Seifalian,Henryk J. Salacinski,Alok Tiwari,Alan Edwards,Staffan Bowald,George Hamilton +5 more
TL;DR: This compliant polyurethane vascular graft "MyoLink" retains its compliance post-implantation, whilst exhibiting only a minor hydrolysis of the amorphous segment, confirming its biostability in vivo up to 3 years.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vitro stability of a novel compliant poly(carbonate-urea)urethane to oxidative and hydrolytic stress.
Henryk J. Salacinski,Nigel Tai,Robert J. Carson,Alan Edwards,George Hamilton,Alexander M. Seifalian +5 more
TL;DR: Results from this study indicate that CPU presents a far greater chemical stability than poly(ether)-urethane grafts do, resulting in a stress-free, viable, small-diameter, synthetic vascular graft.
Patent
Hydrolytically-and proteolytically-stable polycarbonate polyurethane silicone copolymers
TL;DR: A biocompatible, biodurable polycarbonate polyurethane with internal polysiloxane segments and devices made therefrom is described in this article, where the authors describe a polysilicon-based sensor.
