Introducción. El desarrollo de nuevos biomateriales ha desembocado en la aparición de nuevas prótesis vasculares que mejoren el comportamiento de injertos protésicos de pequeño calibre. Objetivo. El objetivo del presente trabajo es el estudio del comportamiento biológico de prótesis vasculares de poliuretano. Material y métodos. Prótesis: poliuretano- polidimetilsiloxano (PU-PDMS). Caracterización: fragmentos de PU-PDMS se procesaron para su estudio en microscopia óptica y electrónica de barrido. Se determinó la carga eléctrica de la superficie interna mediante análisis espectral. Biocompatibilidad: fragmentos (1 cm2) de PU-PDMS se implantaron en el músculo dorsal de conejos Nueva Zelanda (n= 18) durante 3 y 8 meses. Realizamos estudios morfológicos, inmunohistoquímicos (antiactina) y de reacción de cuerpo extraño (RAM11). Siembra: fragmentos de 1 cm2 se sembraron con células endoteliales de vena umbilical humana. Tiempos de estudio: 24, 48, 72 horas y 7 días. Resultados. La composición es fibrilar, con presencia de numerosos poros. Existencia de cargas negativas en la superficie interna del biomaterial. A los tres meses, la prótesis se embebe en tejido neoformado muy vascularizado y rico en células blancas y células de reacción a cuerpo extraño. A los 8 meses se puede observar la total integración del biomaterial, que aparece rodeado de colágeno y muy vascularizado. A las 24 horas de la siembra observamos una superficie endotelizada, que deja al descubierto grandes poros que se tapizan en los estadios posteriores. Conclusiones. Las prótesis PUPDMS presentan características adecuadas para utilizarse como sustitutos vasculares, gracias a su estructura, ausencia de rechazo y buena integración a corto y medio plazo
Biomaterial research and development efforts have yielded new vascular prosthesis showing improved behaviour as small calibre grafts. Objective. The present study was designed to evaluate the biological behaviour of vascular prostheses made of polyurethane. Material and methods. Prostheses: polyurethane-polydimethylsiloxane (PU-PDMS). Characterization: fragments of PU-PDMS were examined by light and scanning electron microscopy. The electrical charge of the prosthetic material's inner surface was determined by spectral analysis. Biocompatibility: fragments (1 cm2) of PU-PDMS were grafted to the dorsal muscle of New Zealand rabbits (n= 18) and maintained for 3 or 8 months when they were subjected to morphological, immunohistochemical (anti-actin) and foreign body reaction (RAM11) analysis. Seeding: fragments (1 cm2) were seeded with endothelial cells from human umbilical vein. Follow-up times were 24, 48, 72 h and 7 days. Results. The biomaterial is of fibrous composition and has numerous pores. The inner biomaterial surface shows areas of negative charge. At three months, the prosthesis was observed to be embedded in a highly vascularised neoformed tissue that was rich in white blood and foreign body reaction cells. Eight months after grafting, the biomaterial was fully infiltrated by host tissue and enveloped by highly vascularised collagen. At 24 h of seeding, endothelialisation of the prosthetic surface was noted, with the exposure of large pores that became lined with cells at subsequent stages. Conclusions. The characteristics shown by the PUPDMS prosthesis: structure, no rejection and good integration with host tissue in the mid- and long-term are suitable for its use as a vascular substitute.
