An in vitro study was conducted to measure the pressure distributions in knitted polyester axillobifemoral bypass grafts under steady and pulsatile flow of a Newtonian fluid. The relationship between pressure drop and flowrate was determined across the outflow branches of two types of axillobifemoral grafts. Pressure losses were greater across the 90° side branch of the T-type graft than in the Y-type graft at all Reynolds numbers studied. Mean pulsatile pressure drops in the T graft were greater than those measured in steady flow at the same Reynolds number. Estimates of the likely in vivo pressure drops are made under resting and exercise flow conditions. It is suggested that the Y graft is less likely to have a significant effect on blood supply to the lower limbs, even at high blood flowrates.

The action of antithrombotic drugs can be evaluated by measuring the deposition of111In-labelled platelets on peripheral bypass grafts several days after injection. This evaluation can be performed qualitatively (visual interpretation on the daily images) or quantitatively. Four different methods which calculate the ratio of platelet uptake with a reference region are compared: two methods use a gamma camera and two a detector. A blood sample or the region under the sternal angle are used as reference. The daily ratio of the counts, recorded by a gamma camera in a region of interest covering the graft, and the blood radioactivity interpolated from a platelet survival curve appears to be the most reliable method. The information of all the ratios can be combined in a single thrombogenicity index which reflects the daily rise of a linear or exponential regression versus time.
