FOR SEVERAL DECADES experimental surgeons have been studying methods for the storage of vascular segments and have been working toward the goal of using such stored vessels as grafts whenever it is necessary to bridge a large gap in the arterial or venous system. Vascular segments have been stored in vaseline, moist air, saline, Ringer's solution, and other media, at temperatures slightly above freezing. 6 7, 8 Vessels have also been stored in a frozen state. 2'3, 16 To evaluate the viability of a stored vessel, examinations have generally been made by studying its histological detail or by implanting a portion of it as a graft and observing it during a survival period in a living animal. The viability of stored tissues destined for grafts has been tested by tissue-culture methods on only a few occasions, 8'23 but such tests have not been applied to the study of blood vessels. It is the purpose of the present communication to record our observations on tissue-culture studies which were made on arterial segments (animal and human) which were stored by various methods.**
