therapeuticsReconstructive surgery…to be used was the Dacron aortic graft, which was introduced by American surgeon Michael DeBakey and colleagues in 1954 to replace aortic aneurysms (dilated vessels that risk rupture and death) or vessels obstructed by arteriosclerotic plaques. Grafts made of similar materials were later employed to replace diseased arteries throughout…

Furthermore, the porous structure of the Dacron mesh promotes tissue integration, which occurs over a period of weeks after implantation.
