Graft histories were obtained from all patients who had undergone this procedure at one institution. Failed grafts were explanted and subjected to histological examination. A sample of fresh bovine ureter was immunostained for galactose (\u03b11 \u2192 3) galactose (\u03b1-Gal).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Nine patients with a median age of 46 (range 25\u201370) years underwent complex venous access surgery between August 2004 and November 2006 using a SynerGraft\u00ae. Graft types included loop superficial femoral artery to stump of long saphenous vein (four patients), loop brachial artery to vein (two), brachial artery to axillary vein (two) and left axillary artery to innominate vein (one). Three grafts developed aneurysmal dilatation and two thrombosed. Histological assessment of the explanted bovine ureters revealed acute and chronic transmural inflammation. Immunostaining of fresh bovine ureter suggested residual cells and the xenoantigen \u03b1-Gal.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n
