Arterial prostheses seeded with autogenous vascular endothelium have a well-organized, cellular, inner lining. To determine the nature of the lining cells, 6 animals underwent replacement of the infrarenal aorta with Dacron prostheses. During the preparation of 3 grafts, endothelium was scraped from the saphenous vein with a steel wool pledget, suspended in chilled Sack''s solution and mixed with blood used to preclot the graft. This suspension was omitted from the 3 control grafts. After 6 wk, the grafts were removed, rinsed and examined. Fluorescent Factor VII related antigen (F VIII-RA) strongly stained the lining cells. Silver nitrate Hautchen and EM preparations showed a lining pattern characteristic of vascular endothelium. Endothelial cell-specific Weibel-Palade bodies were identified in the lining cell cytoplasm. Masson''s trichrome staining revealed a relatively collagen-poor connective tissue within the seeded fabric. Transmission electron microscopy disclosed vascular smooth muscle cells between the seeded graft fabric and the lining cells. Vasa vasorum, arising from the outer capsule, penetrated the fabric to supply the inner capsules of the seeded grafts. Apparently the cells lining seeded canine arterial prostheses are true vascular endothelium supported by vascular smooth muscle cells, the lining contains minimal connective tissue, and vasa vasorum develop. Unseeded control grafts lacked these features.
