OBJECTIVE: To report a successful long term homograft of an artery. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Surgical arterial homograft with a long term follow up. SETTING: General surgery wards of two general hospitals. PATIENTS: 2 patients, one with a recurrent sarcoma of the thigh, the other with an osteogenic sarcoma of the humerus. INTERVENTION: Surgical removal of all tissue of the groin including femoral and external iliac artery and vein, femoral nerve, lymphatics, muscle and ligaments. Arterial replacement with homograft from second patient. RESULTS: Successful function of arterial homograft for 40 years. CONCLUSIONS: It is possible that arteries could be added to the list of organs that are harvested for transplantation. |
