A new type of vascular prosthesis, made of pyrolytic carbon fibres, was tested on growing pigs. Fourteen grafts (4 x 33 mm) were implanted on the infrarenal aorta and removed 15 s, 60 m and 7, 15, 30, 60 and 120 days after surgery. Specimens were examined by light and scanning electron microscopy. As controls ten pigs underwent excision and re-implantation of a 30 mm segment of infrarenal aorta. Autografts were removed 7 to 120 days after surgery. All but one carbon grafts, as well as all autografts were patent at the time of removal. Basic characteristics of carbon grafts, as shown by the present study, may be summarized as follows: 1) thromboresistance of the inner surface, at the time of implantation, 2) development of a thin neo-intima, 3) rapid and complete endothelialization of the flow surface, 4) good viability of the inner layers and 5) solid anchorage to peri-graft tissues.
