Popis: The influence of porosity on the viability of the neointima was evaluated in two types of Dacron vascular prostheses with quite different porosities. It could be concluded that the observed parietal thrombus formation in functioning prostheses, and the dislodgement of the neointima in several of these, might well be attributed to the low porosity of the investigated prostheses, as compared to the recommended value. At the same time it is remarkable that no pronounced difference in the histological picture was observed in the two types of prostheses, despite large differences in their mutual porosities.
