Abstract
A unique drug-eluting graft had excellent patency at 1 month and may encourage luminal endothelialization without excessive intimal hyperplasia. Although vascular endothelial growth factor did not improve intimal formation, cell infiltration, or vascularization, sirolimus might inhibit cell proliferation. Further long-term study would need to evaluate the efficacy of impregnated sirolimus.
