Background: The interest in vascular substitutes has recently increased. We evaluated the feasibility of using a homologous parietal peritoneum as a vascular substitute for venous reconstruction during abdominal surgery. Methods: The inferior vena cava was replaced with a homologous parietal peritoneum after cross-linking with glutaraldehyde in 36 rabbits. At 7, 14, and 28 days, the patency rate, outer and inner graft diameters, histology, and immunohistochemistry were evaluated. Results: Both the 7-and 14-day groups maintained vascular patency. Vascular patency was maintained in 3 rabbits in the 28-day group. The inner diameters of the anastomotic sites were 6.23 ± 0.18, 5.64 ± 0.16, and 2.34 ± 0.21 mm in the 7-day, 14-day, and 28-day groups, respectively. The midpoint inner diameters of the homologous parietal peritoneum grafts were 624 ± 0.46, 5.74 ± 0.26, and 2.14 ± 0.28 mm in each group, respectively. Endothelial cell proliferation on the homologous parietal peritoneum graft surfaces in all groups was based on the histological findings from the first group. Multiple neovascularizations of the homologous parietal peritoneum graft were found in the 14-and 28-day groups, indicating neomedia formation. Acute inflammation appeared to progress to the entire layer of the homologous parietal peritoneum graft without an intraluminal thrombus, but the graft was patent in the 14-day group. In the 28-day group, 6 rabbits showed near-total occlusion and a thrombus formed in the homologous parietal peritoneum graft at the anastomosis site with severe stricture; however, the rabbits were alive and had collateral vessel formation. Conclusion: Using homologous parietal peritoneum is feasible for venous reconstruction in abdominal surgery.
