A new improved biodegradable tracheal prosthesis using hydroxy apatite and carbon fiber.

A new biodegradable tracheal prosthesis was developed using hydroxyapatite rings as the artificial tracheal cartilage, a carbon fiber tube as the tracheal tube; it was then implanted into the cervical trachea in dogs. Morphologic examination revealed that the hydroxyapatite ring was anchored firmly to the tracheal cartilage by ingrowth of cartilaginous tissue into the macropores of the hydroxyapatite.

Significance of various anticoagulation therapies during use of a left ventricular assist device.

A multicomparative study to establish adequate anticoagulation therapy for left ventricular assist devices was undertaken by administrating various anticoagulants: heparin, a prostacyclin analogue combined with a protease inhibitor; thromboxane A2 synthetase inhibitor; or a protease inhibitor alone. Our investigation suggested that combined administration of prostacyclin analogue and protease inhibitor (FUT-175) is ideal anticoagulation therapy from the point of blood coagulation and fibrinolysis. Currently, however, sole administration of FUT-175 is adequate anticoagulation therapy during clinical use of left ventricular assist devices.
