Inhibition of neointimal hyperplasia in a sheep model of dialysis access failure with the bioabsorbable Vascular Wrap ⁎ paclitaxel-eluting mesh

Objective This study evaluated the effect of a bioabsorbable mesh containing paclitaxel on neointimal hyperplasia in a sheep model of dialysis access failure. Methods Forty neutered male sheep were randomized to one of five parallel groups: no mesh; or a 3-cm × 6-cm mesh with 0.0, 0.3, 0.7, or 1.2 μ...
