2. Fig. 1
Scanning electron micrograph of cut edge of a seeded PTFE graft (GF) at 52 weeks after implantation demonstrates an intact endothelial layer (EC). Note orifice of a luminal capillary (arrow) and a uniform 80 to 90 μm thick subendothelial matrix (SE). (Original magnification ×160.)

3. Fig. 2
Light photomicrograph of a seeded graft recovered 52 weeks after implantation demonstrates capillaries, fibrous ingrowth, and macrophages throughout graft wall. (Milligan's trichrome stain; original magnification ×25.)

4. Fig. 3
High-power, light photomicrograph of a seeded graft at 1 year demonstrates endothelial cell monolayer subtended by a cellular layer of smooth muscle—like cells beneath which there is a thicker, but less cellular, layer of fibroblasts and collagen. (Hematoxylin-eosin stain; original magnification ×200.)
