Revascularização periférica com artéria conservada em glicerina

Em 10 caes adultos, clinicamente sadios, com idade de 5 a 8 anos, pesando aproximadamente 14 kg foi enxertado, na arteria femural, um segmento de carotida homologa conservada durante 6 a 15 dias em glicerina. Todos os animais, observados por um periodo de 32 a 159 dias, foram submetidos a arteriografia e posterior sacrificio para estudo histopatologico dos segmentos implantados. Pelos exames constatou-se obstrucao total dos enxertos.

This homograft was preserved during 6 to 15 days in glycerine. All animals were observed from 32 to 159 days. Arteriograms were before sacrifice and posteriorly histopathologic studies of the homografts were realized. Total homografts occlusion were verified by the arteriograms and micropathology.
