Femoro-femoral isolation model in the Chacma Baboon (6 weeks) (102, 126). The wrapped, ingrowth-preventive 30 μm ePTFE segements [(A) near anastomosis with trans-anastomotic endothelial outgrowth; (B) beyond trans-anastomotic endothelium with compacted surface thrombus)] had a high-porosity 150μm IND experimental ePTFE graft [(C) and Insert] welded into the mid-section. The low-porosity, wrapped isolation segments highlight the need for the presence of an endothelium for the active recruitment of largely mononuclear cells from the blood stream (A,B). The very-high porosity isolated mid-graft segment showed either dense, compacted thrombus in the internodal spaces of the luminal side (C) or well-healed grafts with fully trans-murally endothelialized blood surfaces (insert C).
