Experimental results of using autologous rectus fascia sheath for venous patch grafts in dogs

Abstract: Autologous vascular patch grafts developed from the internal rectus sheath were implanted onto the bilateral common iliac vein and jugular vein of 4 experimental beagle dogs. During the development and implanting of the grafts no technical difficulties or perioperative complications were encountered. The follow-up lasted 6 months and 3 months in the case of the common iliac vein grafts and the jugular grafts, respectively. In the postoperative period, the morphological and functional characteristics of the imp… Show more

“…Free or pedicled fascia grafts have also been successfully used in a variety of procedures other than body wall reconstruction: repair of scleral defects (Grundon et al ); creation of venous patch grafts (Csebi et al ); repair of urethral defects (Atalan et al ); replacement of patellar tendon (Gemmill & Carmichael ); intraarticular cranial cruciate reconstruction (Kowaleski et al ); caudal cruciate reconstruction (Kowaleski et al ), and Achilles tendon reconstruction (Swiderski et al ).…”

“…The greater saphenous vein (Akimaru et al, 2000) and the internal jugular vein (Takayama et al, 1995) are often used as autologous vascular implants in the human clinical practice. The use of the autologous internal rectus fascia sheath (IRFS) as patch or tubular vascular conduit grafts for replacing arterial or venous defects has been reported in the human and veterinary literature (Kóbori et al, 2000(Kóbori et al, , 2003(Kóbori et al, , 2008Hammond et al, 2004;Németh et al, 2005;Csébi et al, 2011). The vascular use of the IRFS was based on its previous application for aortic patch repair in dogs (Cousar and Lam, 1952), as an autologous graft in cardiac surgery (Bilfinger et al, 1983) and for numerous other indications such as choledochoplasty (Pacholewicz et al, 1998) and reconstruction of abdominal wounds (Gondolesi et al, 2009).…”
