Visual observation showed no abnormal findings such as thrombus, aneurysm or stenosis. Further, in the microscopic observation (FIG. 6), the formation of the inner part of the inner membrane and the inner membrane was stable and good. Thus, the overall evaluation of Example 3 was good.
- Example 4 Results of Example 4 After 10 months, the dog was euthanized, and the artery where the artery scaffold was transplanted was collected and observed. Visual observation showed no abnormal findings such as thrombus, aneurysm or stenosis. Moreover, in the microscopic observation (FIG. 7), the formation of the inner part of the inner membrane and the inner membrane was stable and good. Thus, the overall evaluation of Example 4 was good.
- Example 5 Results of Example 5 After 10 months, the dog was euthanized, and the artery where the artery scaffold was transplanted was collected and observed. Visual observation showed no abnormal findings such as thrombus, aneurysm or stenosis. Moreover, in the microscopic observation (FIG. 8), the formation of the inner part of the inner membrane and the inner membrane was stable and good. Thus, the overall evaluation of Example 5 was good.
- the artificial blood vessel of the example after transplanting the artificial blood vessel of the example, when the transplanted part was observed with the naked eye, it was confirmed that it functions as a regenerating aorta. That is, it was confirmed that the aorta blood flowed in the transplanted portion and had a lumen without a thrombus. On the other hand, when the artificial blood vessel of the comparative example was transplanted, it was confirmed that the transplanted portion was blocked by a thrombus.
- the inner membrane layer and the inner portion of the media were regenerated, and the structure was very similar to the structure of the natural aorta. Moreover, even if some of the artificial blood vessels remained, the regeneration of part of these intima layers and media layers was good, and thrombus formation, abnormal tissue growth, stenosis / occlusion were not observed. On the other hand, when the artificial blood vessel of the comparative example was transplanted, the formation of the intima and media in the transplanted part was unstable, and the artificial blood vessel was also exposed in a part of the lumen of the transplanted part. .
- Table 1 summarizes the stiffness index a and its performance for the examples and comparative examples.
- the stiffness index a of Examples 1 to 4 was 1.2 to 12, and was distributed between 1/5 and 5.5 times the stiffness index a of the aorta to be transplanted.
- the stiffness index a in Example 5 was 27, 4.5 to 24 times the stiffness index a of the aorta to be transplanted.
- the stiffness index a of Comparative Examples 1 and 2 was 53 and 147, which was 8.8 to 67 times the stiffness index a of the aorta to be transplanted.
- the ratio of the stiffness index a of the artificial blood vessel and the stiffness index a of the portion to be transplanted may be within an average of 7.5 times (Example 5). It has been found that double (Examples 1 to 4 are all within this range) is more preferable. On the contrary, it was found that it is not preferable that the ratio is 8.8 times or more (Comparative Examples 1 and 2).
- Example 1 (average 300 to 700 ⁇ m), Example 2 (average 400 to 1000 ⁇ m), Example 3 (about 100 to 200 ⁇ m), and Example 4 (700 to 1300 ⁇ m) have sufficiently large fiber intervals. ) Had a good evaluation.
- Example 5 the evaluation result of Example 5 in which the fiber spacing was only 10.6 ⁇ m at the maximum was slightly good, and the evaluation result of Comparative Example 1 in which the maximum fiber spacing was only 7.0 ⁇ m was poor.
- the large fiber spacing is also related to the favorable evaluation results.
- an artificial blood vessel having various configurations was prepared by combining the outer layer fabric described in Table 2, the intermediate layer fabric described in Table 3, and the inner layer fabric described in Table 4. Then, it was transplanted into a dog, and the change over time was observed with an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus over 6 months (20 months at the longest). The observation results are summarized in Table 5.
- the artificial blood vessels of the examples are arteries with abnormal progress such as arteriosclerosis, stenosis / occlusion, rupture, aneurysmization, etc. during the observation period of 6 to 20 months. Only 4 reproductions were recognized. In contrast, 15 artificial blood vessels in the comparative example (18 in total) were abnormal within the observation period (of which 4 were abnormal within 2 months).
- the aorta could be regenerated with a high probability by transplanting the artificial blood vessel of the present invention.
- an artificial blood vessel (comparative example) having an outer layer with the stiffness index a deviating from a certain range could not properly regenerate the aorta. That is, it was found that the stiffness index a of the outer layer is related to aortic regeneration.
- the medical base material of the present invention is a medical base material suitable for regeneration of the circulatory system, and in particular, when exposed to a high pressure from the lumen like an artery, a lumen diameter that easily forms a thrombus Is suitable for relatively thin artificial blood vessels of 6 to 8 mm or less, venous and portal vein systems that tend to form thrombus even when thick, and blood vessels for artificial dialysis shunts.
