A and C. Scanning electron micrograph of PTFE graft removed at 2½ hours from baboon ex vivo shunt after albumin infusion. Note fibrin network formed and prominent platelet aggregates. B and D. PTFE graft after dextran infusion. Structure of underlying graft is clearly seen, with absence of platelets and fibrin compared with the albumin shunt.
