May warrant caution with Dacron grafts in aortic replacement; leaves open development of biomimetic alternatives.
What are the long-term hemodynamic and biological effects of compliance mismatch following ascending aorta replacement with Dacron grafts?
This review emphasizes the need for biomimetic arterial surrogates to overcome the detrimental long-term effects of compliance mismatch associated with traditional Dacron grafts in aortic replacement.
Spadaccio et al. (2016) studied this question.
