Blockage of pannus and transmural ingrowth allows study at 8 weeks of fallout endothelialization of isolated central Dacron limb of DTA prosthesis made impervious by external application of silicone rubber. A, Limited pannus growth from host aorta onto PTFE surface. No transmural ingrowth from perigraft sources. LM. (Original magnification ×50.) B, Representative section of PTFE segment beyond pannus zone showing absence of endothelium on fibrin-covered flow surface. LM. (Original magnification ×125.) C, Section from isolated, impervious central Dacron limb shows no ingrowth and presence of endothelial-like cells covering multiple layers of elongated cells reactive to α-actin staining in Fig. 5,D. LM. (Hematoxylin-eosin stain; original magnification ×50).
