Abstract

The treatment of diseased or injured arteries has been a key area of contemporary surgery and a focus of intensive research for more than one hundred years. The interposition of a jugular vein segment into the carotid artery, conducted by Carrel as early as 1908 [1], initiated the use of veins for the replacement of artery sections. Among other important contributions to modern cardiovascular surgery, it is worth mentioning the pioneering work performed by Tuffier [2] using paraffin-lined silver tubes to replace damaged arteries, and the study conducted by Blakemore and coworkers [3] on the utilization of non-sutured anastomoses using Vitalium tubes. It is worth stressing, though, that it was the work conducted during the early 1950s, that changed dramatically the world of vascular surgery, by introducing textile vascular grafts. Of special importance was the landmark work published by Blakemore and Voorhees in 1951, who demonstrated the clinical applicability of Vinyon N, as the first fabric arterial prosthesis [4].
