The Sparks-Mandrill blood vessel precursor system, an autogenous tissue growth-promoting device, despite its ingenuity and its surgical elegance, receives only limited usage. At various times in the last 10 yr it was investigated as a repair technique for peripheral blood vessels. The results of 7 implantations in dogs and 2 in patients are reported in the context of a program on the evaluation of blood vessel substitutes, their mode of operation and their long-term performance. The clinical status and the pathology of the grafts at time of failure were investigated using scanning electron microscopy. The generally unsatisfactory performance of the Sparks-Mandrill system is confirmed. Possible causes for failure in mandrill-formed blood vessels are discussed.
