Study of Neovascularization of the Jejunal Graft. A New Animal Model.

“…After fixation in formol (10%) for a minimum of 24 hr, microscopic analysis was done. The neovascularization of the jejunum graft was indicated by the presence of dye in the jejunal submucosal On the fifth postoperative day, Mercox CL (Japan Reichhold Chemical Inc., Tokyo ; Kumon et al 1983) was introduced into the abdominal aorta of another four rabbits which had had 10% of their jejunal visceral peritoneum removed, after ligation and division of the mesenteric pedicle with the objective of better analysis of neovascularization process. The Mercox produces a cast of the vascular tree that allows demonstration of the fine distribution The Portex tube is p assin g through the of blood vessels under the scanning electron microscope.…”
